GHCi documentation says ":show packages" gives a list of packages currently loaded

GHC manual section 2.7, "GHCi commands", says that ":show packages" shows a list of packages currently loaded. When I run ":show packages" I never get such a list. All I get are package flags, which will report what packages are actually loaded only if GHCi was invoked with "-hide-all-packages".

I do not know if the documentation is inaccurate, if GHCi is not doing something it should, or if I am not understanding what it means to "show a list of packages currently loaded".
