Comment (by rwbarton):
I got caught off guard by hvr's change because I had a ghci macro `:tsu`
I'd forgotten about which meant that every time I tried to `:t` something
I got a weird error. Took me a while to figure out that it was my `.ghci`
file at fault.
I suppose I could learn to use `:type` or `::t` but I'd prefer not to have
to. And I don't want to have to give up macros starting with t, and every
other single-letter ghci command that I use. Can we please have macros
override built-in commands, but still have `:t` expand to `:type`?
