 I can put a semicolon and then an expression or declaration after an
 import command in ghci, and the expression or declaration is simply
 ignored.
 {{{
 rwbarton at morphism:~/ghc$ ghci-7.10.1
 GHCi, version 7.10.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 Prelude> import Data.List; x
 Prelude Data.List>
 }}}
 The stuff after the semicolon does have to parse, but then is discarded.
 Pretty confusing.

 It's especially confusing when using `ghc -e`
 {{{
 rwbarton at morphism:~/ghc$ ghc-7.10.1 -e "import Data.List; sort [2,1]"
 rwbarton at morphism:~/ghc$ echo $?
 0
 }}}
 The command is wrong (in general you cannot give multiple commands
 separated by semicolons, you must use multiple `-e` options), but GHC
 fails to complain in any way and silently ignores the "second command".
