 With a file called 𓅖.hs in `C:\Users\acfoltzer`, the following in
 `cmd.exe`:

 {{{
 C:\Users\acfoltzer>chcp 65001
 Active code page: 65001

 GHCi, version 7.10.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help

 ghc.exe: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 7.10.1 for i386-unknown-mingw32):

 Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
 }}}

 Here, I'm setting the code page first according to the various bits of
 folk wisdom on the Internet about getting Unicode to properly display in
 `cmd.exe`. I don't get this crash with a Cygwin terminal, but rather see
 `??.hs`.

 I came across this because I was getting the same exception in the Cryptol
 REPL, so I suspect it's not unique to GHCi, but is rather something fishy
 in base.
