Haskell source paths, as GHC understands them, are remarkably permissive: they must end with one of the source extensions (now more accurately listed here, with references to the upstream GHC code), but can otherwise contain quirks up to and including multiple extensions, whitespace, and newlines. GHCi is actually even more lenient than this in what it accepts; it'll automatically append `.hs` and `.lhs` to paths you give it and check if those exist, but fortunately they get printed out in `:show targets` and diagnostics as the resolved source paths: ```text ghci> :add src/MyLib [1 of 1] Compiling MyLib ( src/MyLib.hs, interpreted ) ghci> :show targets src/MyLib.hs ghci> :add src/Foo target ‘src/Foo’ is not a module name or a source file ghci> :add src/MyLib.lhs File src/MyLib.lhs not found ghci> :add "src/ Foo.hs" File src/ Foo.hs not found ghci> :add "src\n/Foo.hs" File src /Foo.hs not found ```
