Comment(by vivian):

 > It would be good to have a test or two for `:script`, and also for the
 filenames and line numbers in errors.
 >

 The test patch on this trac page has a test 'tests/ghc-
 regress.ghci/prog011' which (i) tests that the :script command works, (ii)
 generates an error in the script.  The linenumber and filename of the
 location of the error are correctly reported.

 I can't seem to find `sourceConfigFile` (using find | grep)
