Comment:
My patch separates ghci 'import' syntax from ':module' syntax: while
':module' behaves the same way it always has (not allowing full import
syntax), 'import' now acts like the full haskell98 'import'. This means,
however, that starred module name imports (that is, full top levels) are
now not supported by 'import'. With ':module' still supporting this,
though, I don't think this is a problem.
Because import commands are represented by ImportDecls, I modified the
"ic_exports" field of InteractiveContext to take both modules and their
corresponding import declarations, if any. Along with this change comes a
modification of getContext, which must use the different "ic_exports"
type.
