Comment (by carter):

 hrm, this is subtle enough that if other people are ok with it, would
 definitely merit entry in the manual!

 this does suggest that it might be worth having an easy to disable warning
 when you load macros which disable standard shorthands like :i :k :t ,
 right?  (i could be wrong there). I really should learn more about ghci
 macros it sounds like.
