Comment (by Remi):
I don't particularly care for what UI is used exactly, adding a flag to
:info seemed simply the easiest way to solve the issue for me.
So splitting the thing into :info and :instances is perfectly fine with
me, except that they share a common prefix, and I rather like being able
to just type
{{{
:i Show
}}}
The other thing is that I can imagine more complicated ways of searching
for instances would perhaps better be done by e.g. hoogle. (hoogle+ghci-
integration or something.)
