Comment (by Fuuzetsu):
nomeata: Yes, perhaps, but it's often difficult to do so from an
environment that doesn't have the ability to use Haskell libs, like most
editors don't. Even ghc-mod spits out the type information in this pretty
format. It's also a bit more difficult to wrestle with GHC API rather than
just sending ‘:i’ to already running and loaded GHCi.
If you feel that this is not something GHCi should do then by all means,
please close the ticket!
