    ghci: only keep the GlobalRdrEnv in ModInfo · 19d6d039
    sheaf authored 
    The datatype GHC.UI.Info.ModInfo used to store a ModuleInfo,
which includes a TypeEnv. This can easily cause space leaks as we
have no way of forcing everything in a type environment.

In GHC, we only use the GlobalRdrEnv, which we can force completely.
So we only store that instead of a fully-fledged ModuleInfo.
