Comment(by ezyang):

 check was added in:

 {{{
 commit 79d6745f66c678de5e104b2146d3dd3e2f006c3e
 Author: Simon Marlow <marlo...@gmail.com>
 Date:   Fri Aug 26 16:36:05 2011 +0100

     Clean up the handling of the import and :module commands in GHCi
 }}}

 Simon did add documentation for some of the other options he added, so
 either he intended it to be internal or forgot to remove it? It prints out
 the global and local names of a module, but it only works on interpreted
 modules.

 issafe was added in:

 {{{
 commit e0eb7e7de292ba2bb0aa5ca261b7b41169b58af0
 Author: David Terei <davidte...@gmail.com>
 Date:   Tue May 17 01:19:23 2011 -0700

     SafeHaskell: Add ':issafe' cmd to GHCi that displays module safety
 info
 }}}

 Definitely ought to be documented.

 showi was added in:

 {{{
 commit 2e55760b856540535fa0e4fe1805a75eea7d6b45
 Author: Simon Marlow <marlo...@gmail.com>
 Date:   Wed Feb 29 16:23:08 2012 +0000

     GHCi: add :seti, for options that apply only at the prompt (#3217)
 }}}

 Probably should be documented, although currently since it only accepts
 'language' it is completely subsumed by ':seti' with no arguments.

 Patches welcome!
