Comment (by hvr):

 Btw, line-breaking of compiler message can be suppressed somewhat by using
 `-dppr-cols999`, however that doesn't seem to apply to the pretty-printing
 of `:info` or `:type`.

 However, the major parsing/interaction issue I have encountered while
 working on the Emacs integration is the shared I/O on stdin/stdout between
 GHCi's and the interpreted/evaluated code output (interleaved output on
 STDOUT, as well as code trying to read from STDIN).
