Comment:
Patch implements multiline commands in GHCi. ({{{do, case, let}}}).
Patch includes documentation. The testsuite patch modifies a number of
GHCi tests that now require an additional blank line after {{{case}}} and
{{{let}}}.
#3984 was not modified.
It would be nice to see this in 7.0.
The history is not modified as Haskeline would require modification to
replace the previous n lines with one multiline command. Also, it might
be better to allow the user to replay each line at a time, so that an
error on one line can be changed. I suppose this depends on whether
history is used to edit commands or just repeat them.
