I thought we had a ticket for this, but I can't find it so I'm creating
one.
In GHCi there's no reason in principle that we can't allow any declaration
that you can write at the top-level of a source file, at the interactive
prompt. Many people have asked for this over the years.
* data/type/newtype declarations
* class declarations
* instance declarations
* foreign declarations (exception foreign export)
* deriving
* default???
