Emacs' terminal is also lacking all the modern conveniences, like addressable cursors and builtin line-editing designed for 1970s printing terminals and practically no searching capabilities. Alternatively, you could say it's incompatible with modern Unix's biggest mistakes and worst legacy issues.
With the risk of making this even more OT: Emacs has three different types of shells built-in, at least to my knowledge. These are M-x shell, eshell and term. I'm not sure which one you are referring to as "Emacs' terminal", if any of them, but inf-haskell.el uses "shell" afaics. And what do you mean with "no searching capabilites?" What kind of searching are we talking here? Deniz
