Perform a wildcard module import on a directory?

If I have a bunch of modules in a directory called Views, I'd like to import them all with import Views.*. Instead, as far as I can tell the current haskell idiom is to create a file Views.hs that imports all those files.

My use case:

I'm building a web app with Scotty. My views are written in blaze-html and I import and render them like this:

import Views.Posts.Index

scotty 3000 $ do
  get "/" $ do
    posts <- getPosts
    blaze $ Views.Posts.Index.render posts

So if I have 10 views, I need to import each one explicitly...and when I create a view I need a new import before I can use it. Compare this to mustache:

scotty 3000 $ do
  get "/" $ do
    mustache "views/posts/index"
