Changes (by simonmar):
* priority: normal => low
* summary: ghci ':browse *<module>' does not list items in source order
=> Retain export-list order in ModIface, use it
in :browse
* milestone: => 6.10 branch
Comment:
In the patch for #1617, I implemented the following:
* if a module is interpreted, then browse output is in source order
* otherwise, browse output is alphabetically sorted by name
Ideally I'd like to retain the order of the export list in the `ModIface`,
so that all `:browse M` output (as opposed to `:browse *M`) would appear
in export-list order. The compiled/interpreted distinction would then
disappear. At the moment it appears that `md_exports` in `ModDetails` is
always sorted by `OccName`.
