The advantage is ghci works without editline and readline. The
disadvantage is if you want arrow keys and backspace to work, you should
have installed http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/ first.
libedit on Debian is very out-dated[1]. Haskell bindings (editline)
doesn't compile against it (at least I could not compile it).
There was also no working libedit for mingw last time I checked
(shelarcy was working on a patch at the time - did that work out?).
Would it be possible to use haskeline as a fallback/default,
for future Ghc's?
