@ezyang suggested in #2058 that a flag (such as --interpreted) be added to cabal test which would make Cabal run the test suites through the interpreter, rather than recompiling them. This will be faster in many instances because it avoids linking. We should not do this for benchmarks, because interpreted code isn't optimized.

@ttuegel are there any existing examples of using the interpreter to run project code?

Note that you can repl the test suite, which is almost as good.
