Prelude> :b Control.Concurrent.MVar module 'Control.Concurrent.MVar' is not interpreted
:b now defaults to :breakpoint, you want :browse
That's a questionable decision, IMO: - it changes behavior - I expect :browse to be used more often, so it deserves the sort :b version (:bro is not that short)
On the other hand, this change can have an (unintended?) feature advertising effect ;-)
It's not a decision at all. :b is the first command starting with b, which was browse yesterday, is breakpoint today, and tomorrow will be something you've never heard of. It's inherently fragile, and shouldn't be relied on in scripts - and if :b does anything funny, spell out the command! (There is a case to be made for explicitly defining short forms of commands - but that is not what :b is, and making this case should only be done in a new thread.) Stefan
