Comment(by guest):
I don't understand why a new command behaves differently than a flag.
What would cause the flag to look the pretty printer up each time?
For my view, what is important is that it should be easy to customize
either by
(a) proving a flag on the command line,
(b) adding a line to the .ghci file, or
(c) including a pragma in one of the loaded modules
For this purpose, it is also important that one can give a global name,
rather than need to rely on what is in the current context.
