 GHC manual section 2.7, "GHCi commands", says that ":show packages" shows
 a list of packages currently loaded.  When I run ":show packages" I never
 get such a list.  All I get are package flags, which will report what
 packages are actually loaded only if GHCi was invoked with "-hide-all-
 packages".

 I do not know if the documentation is inaccurate, if GHCi is not doing
 something it should, or if I am not understanding what it means to "show a
 list of packages currently loaded".
