New description:

 In order to change the main prompt it's as simple as a single command.
 {{{
 :set prompt "> "
 }}}

 However, in order to change the second prompt, you'd have to go into the
 ghci source code, and remove code or wrap existing code to add a
 switch/configuration for it.

 Example..
 {{{
 > :{
 Prelude|
 }}}

 As of the reason to having a configurable prompt, when you have many
 modules, this list can become annoying fast and so many have disabled
 showing the modules. Yet we can't do this with the second prompt.
