 > However, the [http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide
 /interactive-evaluation.html user documentation] is not good on this
 point.  Notably, it says (2.4.5.1) that "You cannot add a module to the
 scope if it is not loaded".  But that's not true: you can also add (or
 `import`) any package module.

 the documentation.

 Yes, looks like it should say "if it is not loaded or a package module" or
 something.  Maybe the negatives should be reversed.
