Comment (by judah):
I've added a new version of ajd's patch, which works with the types of
read/writeHistory that were settled on in #2053. Two other things:
- The history file is saved as ~/.ghci_history (but not if the home
directory can't be retrieved)
- The history is limited to 100 entries (to prevent the history file from
growing too big)
Does this look OK? Note that the history size can be changed by calling
`stifleHistory` in the `.ghci` file.
