Comment:

 @dramforever: The patch in Phab:D5376 only recollects the type information
 if the timestamp of the source (.hs) file has changed. The patch fixes the
 error in the compairson.
 Please note, if you don't change the file then GHCi has no reason to
 recollect. However, if you change the file, GHCi will now recollect!
