Comment(by cjs):

 That syntax works for me. Do note, if you start implementing this for GHC,
 that if Blah.hs doesn't export main and is linked into other programs the
 versions of this with and without the main function must be compiled
 separately. (A typical case for this is where the main function is a test
 framework.)
