StaticPointers support in GHCi

It would be great if GHCi could grow support for this extension. <details><summary>Trac metadata</summary> | Trac field | Value | | ---------------------- | -------------- | | Version | 8.0.1 | | Type | FeatureRequest | | TypeOfFailure | OtherFailure | | Priority | normal | | Resolution | Unresolved | | Component | Compiler | | Test case | | | Differential revisions | | | BlockedBy | | | Related | #12000 | | Blocking | | | CC | | | Operating system | | | Architecture | | </details> <!-- {"blocked_by":[],"summary":"StaticPointers support in GHCi","status":"New","operating_system":"","component":"Compiler","related":[12000],"milestone":"8.2.1","resolution":"Unresolved","owner":{"tag":"Unowned"},"version":"8.0.1","keywords":[],"differentials":[],"test_case":"","architecture":"","cc":[""],"type":"FeatureRequest","description":"Currently GHCi does not support `-XStaticPointers`, which is quite annoying for those of us who actually use `-XStaticPointers` in day-to-day development.
