Comment(by errge):

 Good point, clarity is important too.  Especially for beginners, using
 ghci for the first time, I don't want to scare them :)

 How about a discrete message like this:
 -=-
 There are also 56234 other visible instances, not shown for clarity.
 -=-

 That would basically leave the experience as it is currently, but would
 have been enough for me to warn about the instances I were missing through
 my debugging session.
