Comment (by SamB):

 Igloo: I think :browse *is* the more common operation. Certainly it is for
 me. Probably because I don't feel like loading whole programs as bytecode?
 If GHCi defined :br to be :browse, heavy debugger users could define :b to
 :break... besides, debugger users haven't had nearly so long to develop
 the habbit.
