Comment:
Making Haskeline's `InputT` monad more strict fixes this, though I only
have a vague idea of what's going on (the heap profiler doesn't work with
GHCi). Poking around in the heap I found that data from previous
compilations appears to be hung onto by chains of thunks originating in
the `InputT` monad.
Judah: could this lead to any problems? (see attached patch for
Haskeline)
