 I also don't really see many benefits from this, but also think the cost
 is high for GHC developers. Long standing patches and branches need to be
 re-based and imports renamed. While I appreciate that it's a one time
 cost, it's a very painful one.

 That aside, the split between `ghc/ghci` and `compiler/GHC.Interactive`
 seems weird.
