In addition, some flags are marked as `dynamic / :set`, indicating that they can be changed within GHCi with `:set`. That being said, I agree that the :type:'s are needlessly verbose. I see two ways to proceed:
* Make :type: default to `dynamic` (or perhaps another, friendlier name) * Represent mode flags with a different directive entirely In either case we might want to add a new boolean option to :ghc-flag: asserting it can be set from within ghci, separating this information from :type:. Cheers, - Ben
