New description:

 {{{
 The Haskell 98 report says "A Haskell program is a
 collection of
 modules, one of which, by convention, must be called
 Main and must
 export the value main." However, the program below
 builds and executes
 fine.

 module Main() -- should be "module Main" or "module
 Main(main)"
 where
 main = putStrLn "Hello, World"

 $ runghc Main.hs
 Hello, World
