GHCi does not follow the XDG Base Directory Specification
Hello,
GHCi does not follow the XDG Base Directory Specification by default on GNU/Linux based operating systems.
It creates for instance the file $HOME/.ghc/ghci_history which belongs in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/ghc/ , or $HOME/.cache/ghc/ if $XDG_CACHE_HOME is not set.
$ ghci --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.0.2
