Comment (by Fuuzetsu):

 nomeata: Yes, perhaps, but it's often difficult to do so from an
 environment that doesn't have the ability to use Haskell libs, like most
 editors don't. Even ghc-mod spits out the type information in this pretty
 format. It's also a bit more difficult to wrestle with GHC API rather than
 just sending ‘:i’ to already running and loaded GHCi.

 If you feel that this is not something GHCi should do then by all means,
 please close the ticket!
