 When loading a file in GHCi with the command {{{:load}}} and the file must
 import another file, if that other file is unavailable then GHCi sends the
 following error\\

 {{{
 Failed to load interface for `xxx`
 Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
 }}}
 ' xxx ' is the name of the imported file that GHCi cannot find.\\
 But we can not use a flag ( ie -v) with the command {{{:load}}} in GHCi.\\
 This error is not appropriate in GHCi when using {{{:load}}}
