New subject: [commit: ghc] master: Mention that MR is off by default in GHCi in documentation (5bda0d0)

6 Feb 2014

It would be probably clearer to say

"Since GHC 7.8.1, the monomorphism restriction is switched off by
default in GHCi."

This makes the awkward double-negation feeling go away.
What do others think?

Cheers,

    Gabor
