Hello,
It seems the printing behaviour of ghci has changed recently?

I like the new printing behaviour for (a1), but not for (b1). How do I
bind a variable to the result of an IO action without printing that
variable? Sometimes the variable is so large that 'show' runs out of
memory. Perhaps I should fix my code so this doesn't happen but I
think it would also be nice to go back to behaviour (b0) where values
assigned to variables are not printed...
