We missed the opportunity to merge this for GHC 7.10 but I hope this can make it for GHC 8.0
See https://github.com/chrisdone/ghci-ng/blob/master/README.md for a description of the new GHCi commands
I've started rebasing the changes from Chris' ghci-ng repo against GHC HEAD and pushed the work-in-progress state as branch `wip/T10874`.
One blocker right now is the use of SYB to traverse the AST which I don't want to drag into GHC as a dependency. So one thing that needs to be done is rewrite those 20 lines of code without relying on SYB.
Other than that some minor polishing needs to be done.
