Comment(by Feuerbach):
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I am puzzled by the fact that in a bare ghci
session, without importing any additional modules except Prelude,
1) The type `IO` is available under the name `GHC.IO.IO`
2) The data constructor `GHC.IO.IO` is in scope
In ordinary Haskell, you'd need to `import GHC.IO` for that to be the
case. Hence my question.
