All,
The :tags for ghci feature that recently went into cvs:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2005-June/025436.html
means that unfortunately saying:
:t blah
now complains that :t is ambiguous because it could be :tags or :type.
I think this may upset people! :-) People are very used to using :t.
They've probably been doing it for more than a decade (with hugs before
ghci). Could :tags be renamed or the ambiguity be resolved by letting :t
default to the one that we obviously mean.
