I think that's right (unless you're doing something like generating part of your library with TH code that uses another library). > Maybe we can use this somehow to avoid recompilation.

You'd need to show all the interfaces in a consistent order and then take the hash of the whole lot. I think it would work; the only down side I can think of is that the names would be a bit unwieldy if a dependency was missing.
