Comment (by rwbarton):
Well it's not so easy for `ghc -e` because there might be multiple `-e`
arguments. So we can't exit the GHC session before executing the first
argument, since the second argument might be `:t it` or something. The
code structure is such that it currently is not easy to clean up temporary
files in the middle of a GHC session, nor is it clear when it is safe to
do so.
We could probably handle the exceptional exit case better though.
