New description:
In order to change the main prompt it's as simple as a single command.
{{{
:set prompt "> "
}}}
However, in order to change the second prompt, you'd have to go into the
ghci source code, and remove code or wrap existing code to add a
switch/configuration for it.
Example..
{{{
> :{
Prelude|
}}}
As of the reason to having a configurable prompt, when you have many
modules, this list can become annoying fast and so many have disabled
showing the modules. Yet we can't do this with the second prompt.
