New description:
GHCi has a `:edit` command for editing the current source file. Hugs's
command of the same name automatically jumps the editor to the location of
the last error; it would be nice if GHCi's did the same.
Comment:
You can define it yourself, but it's a bit hacky and it would clearly be
better to have it built-in. This is also a small self-contained task
(limited to the GHCi front end) that a new contributor could take on.
