#2620: `ghci --help` gives unhelpful error message
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: Deewiant | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: GHCi
Version: 6.8.3 | Severity: minor
Keywords: | Testcase:
Architecture: x86 | Os: Windows
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Running `ghci --help` gives the following humorous output:
{{{
: cannot use `--interactive' with `--help'
Usage: For basic information, try the `--help' option.
}}}
This works with GHC 6.8.2 on Linux (x86) but evidently not with GHC 6.8.3
on Windows.
Although the error message, in this case, could be improved, it would be
better if `--help` (and `--version`, maybe others) worked the same way as
with `ghc`, for both `ghci` and `ghc --interactive`.
