By the way I've the following lines in my ~/.ghci from http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/998

Does this work with libedit, too?

Hm... It runs, but doesn't have any effect. It looks like you need to use setBasicWordBreakCharacters instead of setCompleterWordBreakCharacters. (ghci sets both, which is why I didn't notice this before.) Note that with my fix to #998 (sent to cvs-ghc), that hack should no longer be necessary. -Judah
