:main in GHCi doesn't do getArgs wildcard expansion

In GHCi, from a current directory containing some Haskell files:

ghci> import System
ghci> let main = print =<< getArgs
ghci> :main *.hs
["*.hs"]

I would have expected ["foo.hs","bar.hs"]. Running the same thing from the command line (compiled or through runhaskell) gives the expected behaviour.
