There should be a flag for GHCi that tells it to load as many modules as possible

Right now if GHCi runs into a module that contains an error, it stop loading altogether, AFAIU. It'd be good if it attempted to load as many modules as possible instead. For example, if I have modules A, B, and C and C contains an error, then as long as A and B do not depend on C, I should end up with them in scope no matter in which order I specify the modules in load script (the --ghci-script thing).
