#2116: ghci should try to read erroneous modules partially

--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
If ghci (re-)reads a module that contains some error,
then it considers the module loading as a complete failure,
and at the prompt I get the Prelude environment.
It is understandable that ghci rejects modules with syntax errors,
but for syntactically correct modules with type errors
I wish that at least the effect of import statements
would be visible.
Perhaps even some partial type checking could be done,
and declarations that pass this can be executed.
