Yeah, I very nearly omitted the -main-module option, too. It's pretty
silly and I'd be happy to see it go.

I'd also like to switch the default behaviour to export everything, but
haven't gotten to testing that out yet. That way it's still useful as a
"program wrapper" (since you won't be using those exports anyway), but
also useful when compiling many different files together.
