Absolutely. This is on my ToDo list, but I haven't got around to it yet.
- since ghc now keeps better source location info, how about ":find <name>"?
Yes, another good suggestion. I don't have the time to tackle these right now, but they're good small projects for anyone looking for something to contribute to GHC.
- the ":set <something>" command in ghci "feeds" the ghc command line, but how can I figure out the current settings (especially paths and packages)?
This is really a bug - and it's another thing that's been lurking on my ToDo list for a long time. Cheers, Simon
