Comment(by duncan):
Note that we think we need this for the `cabal repl` feature that Sam is
implementing for his GSoC project.
http://lambdasandwich.blogspot.com/2011/06/reloading-ghci.html
Our plan is for cabal to generate a ghci script that rebinds the `:reload`
command so that it calls back out to cabal to re-run pre-processors
(hsc2hs etc). Then `cabal repl` will invoke `ghci -ghci-script dist/ghci`
or something like that.
Sam will be preparing a patch. I'll do the first review. If possible we're
aiming for inclusion in the 7.2 release.
