Comment (by carter):

 I'm personally very uncomfortable with GHC features not being supported by
 GHCI.
 Any such feature winds up being fundamentally second class.  Eg many
 industrial users of GHC test run their large applications via GHCi to side
 step long compilations for quickly testing out changes.

 a) is actually adding support for GHCI and HPC challenging? (if so whats
 the challenge? Let us help!)
 b) or was it simply not done yet? If so, how can we help get this fixed
 before the 7.10 release
