Right now if GHCi runs into a module that contains an error, it stop
loading altogether, AFAIU. It'd be good if it attempted to load as many
modules as possible instead. For example, if I have modules A, B, and C
and C contains an error, then as long as A and B do not depend on C, I
should end up with them in scope no matter in which order I specify the
modules in load script (the `--ghci-script` thing).
