 works fine with [https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/master/users-
 guide/ghci.html#multiline-input multiline input], but if you add one
 trailing space it immediately terminates the input

 {{{
 Prelude> let
 Prelude| a :: Int␣

 <interactive>:11:1: error:
     The type signature for ‘a’ lacks an accompanying binding
 }}}

 I don't know if this is the desired behavior but this means I can't
 copy/paste code into GHCi that has a trailing whitespace.
