 I inadvertently wrote {{{:l}}} instead of {{{:r}}} and after typing on
 "return" GHCi replied\\

 {{{
 Prelude> :l
 Ok, modules loaded: none.
 }}}
 It disturbed me for a few moments.
 Why OK?
 Sorry but again this does not make sense here.
 The interpreter does not load anything.
 It is better to say\\

 {{{
 Failed, modules loaded: none.
 }}}
 And so after I write\\

 {{{
 Prelude> :r
 Ok, modules loaded: none.
 }}}
 Here too it is better to say\\

 {{{
 Failed, modules loaded: none.
 }}}
