- Overall, I like the additions, especially :show languages/packages
thanks!-) to complete ':show packages': is there a way to query (the
linker, i guess?) about currently loaded packages?

than
just the GHCi-related ones? Or perhaps just the flags that have
changed from their defaults?
the intention there is to let the user know which GHCi-specific
flags are available (see the current thread in haskell-cafe), as they
are just another syntax for what might be GHCi options
(hugs :set gives current settings and brief help, all in one page).
perhaps there should be a separate ':show dynflags'? but
there are so many of them that one would need to control
the amount of output somehow, i guess. as i mentioned, being able to
show import paths, etc, would also be useful.
There normally won't be many, especially if we stick to showing what
differs from the default settings, and exclude language flags.
- Move ghciFlags lower down, maybe as a local function to setCmd
the idea was to cache the small caf, instead of going through
all dynflags again and again. originally, i wanted to use that
list for helpText as well, but then decided to add the general
reference to the user's guide section instead.
It'll still be cached (full-laziness, you know). Right now, it's in the
wrong part of the file, that's all.
Cheers,
Simon
