The appropriate entries for .ghci are:

:def hoogle \x -> return $ ":!hoogle \"" ++ x ++ "\""
:def doc \x -> return $ ":!hoogle --info \"" ++ x ++ "\""

That's actually close enough. However, the python & clojure commands use
the current search path, not a database build from the online docs. I
suspect this means I want a cabal command.
