New description:

 GHCi should remember what the 'default' setting in
 force for a module is, so that after :m Foo one gets
 the default setting for Foo.

 This means that GHC should really record the default
 setting in the interface file.

 So this is related to the current bug that GHCi
 doesn't remember the original source-level imports for
 the module.  As a result :m Foo (where Foo is a
 compiled module) does not produce the right top-level
 environment
