Thanks for going to the trouble of cleaning this up. I was never happy
with how this all worked.
The prefix colon in the name (":Interactive") was supposed to avoid the
possibility of clashing with a user-defined module, rather like the
":Main" pseudo-module. Could that be a problem with "Ghci1" and so on?
What about the "interactive" package? Perhaps these ought to be
renamed to something that can't be user-defined?
Cheers,
Simon
