[Haskell-beginners] Using GHCi, import submodule that needs to import another submodule?

Sorry about this one. 'import' depends on the available/installed ghc packages,
the given module name 'Geometry.Sphere' is looked up in these packages.

Calling 'ghc-pkg list' will give you a list of all packages.

If you don't have created and installed a package for your geometry
files, then ghci will not know them.

So calling ':load/:add' is the right thing here.
