Comment (by simonpj):

 The implementation is easy: delete code.

 But what is the user-facing specification?  We need user-manual stuff
 explaining what all this `Ghci4.foo` stuff means.  How would you know
 whether to say `:t Ghci2.foo` or `:t Ghci3.foo`?  Can you list all the
 `foo` functions?  Etc.

 Thanks!
