finding that flag (and other topic-related flags) might become
easier in future. there is one patch for head that would allow
to query directly for interactive mode (or other topical) flags:
$ /cygdrive/c/fptools/ghc/compiler/stage2/ghc-inplace --flags
Interactive:
How did I know that the search term I wanted was "Interactive"? I'd
probably try "GHCi" first. How did I know that I have to add that colon at
the end? Yet the user certainly knows how to navigate a web page, or a
text file or man page on Unix. We don't need a GHC-specific user interface
to documentation that needs documenting itself.
Cheers,
Simon
