Comment (by crockeea):

 I question the utility of warning about missing-home-modules in GHCi, when
 this warning was originally introduced (#13129) to solve a Cabal problem.
 Does anyone actually load GHCi by listing all the modules, and what is
 gained by doing so?

 I frequently use GHCi with large projects where I'm definitely only going
 to list the top module on the command line. Perhaps this should be a GHC-
 only warning?
