Since you're busy making changes for us... do you have any ideas on how to do this ratification stuff?

Petr's technique of having a wrapper module import & re-export the otherwise forbidden functions works, but it strikes me as kind of ugly. (I dislike having extra source files doing obscure things to, it seems to me, work around issues in a third-party tool.)

Is there any hint option or technique we could use to suppress a particular warning/error for a particular file? (In this case it'd be to suppress the custom readFile/hGetContents errors for files x,y,& z.)
