begin Brandon S Allbery KF8NH quotation:
The fundamental problem is that ghci has no concept of "projects". The correct place for this is in Cabal, which *does* have project support, but as yet it has no support for ghci. It's conceivable that the ghci user commands capability could be used to find (and optionally) parse a *.cabal file to identify a package root, at the price of an initial slowdown if you didn't have one.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this possibility elsewhere in the thread, but I was thinking that having a "cabal console" command would be a nice way to handle this. Cabal would parse the *.cabal file and invoke ghci with the appropriate incantation. -d
