[commit: ghc] master: Change the way module initialisation is done (#3252, #4417) (a52ff76)

[austin seipp]

Seconded! I think this will also significantly help the plugins work
I'm trying to get cleaned up - annotations that were part of packages
which exposed a GHC plugin (and thus, dependened on the GHC library)
would cause GHC to get linked into the resulting executable, even
though the annotation was only used. I think with this, keeping
annotations and plugins in the same package is OK and won't be
detrimental to final binary size (see some of the later comments on
the ticket http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3843)
