Comment(by ezyang):
check was added in:
{{{
commit 79d6745f66c678de5e104b2146d3dd3e2f006c3e
Author: Simon Marlow <[email protected]>
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:
{{{

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 <[email protected]>
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!
