ghci should do an automatic ":r" after ":e"
A reload (:r) is almost always what one does after an edit (:e). Arguably ghci should just do the :r after an :e automatically, as I can't imagine why someone would edit a file but not want to load it back into ghci.
If memory serves this is how hugs used to work.
