Option to suppress GHCi output "Failed, modules loaded"
For projects with lots of modules, the "modules loaded" message can be considerably long. For example:
Failed, modules loaded: Distribution.Client.Check, Distribution.Client.Run, Distribution.Client.Tar, Distribution.Client.Types, Distribution.Client.Win32SelfUpgrade, Distribution.Client.Utils, Paths_cabal_install, Distribution.Client.BuildReports.Types, Distribution.Client.Dependency.Types, Distribution.Client.Init.Types, Distribution.Solver.Types.ConstraintSource, Distribution.Solver.Types.Settings, Distribution.Client.GlobalFlags, Distribution.Client.HttpUtils, Distribution.Client.Security.HTTP, Distribution.Solver.Types.PackageIndex, Distribution.Solver.Types.ComponentDeps, Distribution.Solver.Types.OptionalStanza, Distribution.Solver.Types.PackageFixedDeps, Distribution.Solver.Types.SourcePackage, Distribution.Solver.Types.LabeledPackageConstraint, Distribution.Solver.Types.PackageConstraint, Distribution.Client.World, Distribution.Client.FetchUtils, Distribution.Client.GZipUtils, Distribution.Client.Init.Licenses, Distribution.Client.Init.Heuristics, Distribution.Client.Compat.Process, Distribution.Client.JobControl, Distribution.Client.Compat.ExecutablePath, Distribution.Client.Compat.Semaphore, Distribution.Client.ParseUtils, Distribution.Client.Compat.FilePerms, Distribution.Client.Haddock, Distribution.Client.InstallPlan, Distribution.Client.SolverInstallPlan, Distribution.Client.BuildReports.Anonymous, Distribution.Client.BuildReports.Storage, Distribution.Solver.Types.PkgConfigDb, Distribution.Solver.Types.SolverPackage, Distribution.Solver.Types.SolverId, Distribution.Solver.Types.ResolverPackage, Distribution.Solver.Modular, Distribution.Client.PackageUtils, Distribution.Solver.Types.DependencyResolver, Distribution.Solver.Types.InstalledPreference, Distribution.Solver.Types.PackagePath, Distribution.Solver.Types.PackagePreferences, Distribution.Solver.Types.Progress, Distribution.Solver.Types.Variable, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Assignment, Distribution.Solver.Modular.ConfiguredConversion, Distribution.Solver.Modular.IndexConversion, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Log, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Package, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Solver, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Builder, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Cycles, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Dependency, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Explore, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Index, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Message, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Preference, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Validate, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Linking, Distribution.Solver.Modular.PSQ, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Tree, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Flag, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Version, Distribution.Solver.Modular.ConflictSet, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Var, Distribution.Solver.Modular.Configured, Distribution.Solver.Modular.LabeledGraph, Distribution.Client.ProjectPlanning.Types, Distribution.Client.DistDirLayout, Distribution.Client.PackageHash, Distribution.Client.RebuildMonad, Distribution.Client.Glob, Distribution.Client.FileMonitor, Distribution.Client.Utils.Json.
*Distribution.Client.Check> It would be nice if there were a way to suppress this message. If there already is a way, it would be nice if GHCi mentioned this method when the module list gets long.
