Remove imported module name list from ghci default prompt

Motivation

The ghci default prompt lists every imported module name. For any medium-to-large sized project, this is likely to fill the entire terminal window, making the repl almost unusable.

For this reason, I expect most Haskellers have a ~/.ghci file which overrides the prompt so that it doesn’t include the list of module names. I would suggest that it should not be necessary to do this to make the repl usable in medium-to-large sized projects.

Proposal

Change the ghci default prompt from “%s> ” to “> “.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
