ghci messages like "Ok, modules loaded: ..." are impractical for large sets of modules
Ghci (in the default config) wants to show me all the modules that are currently loaded.
If I have a great many of these (think: hundreds) then this is impractical, because I have to scroll back to see what actually interests me (output of last command).
I can change the prompt (:set prompt "> "), but I don't see how to switch off the display of all module names in :r command.
I have to scroll back (several screenfulls) to even find out whether the reload was successful, since the status (OK/Failed) is at the very beginning - and the reason for the Failure is before that.
