Still, having come from that realm of old-school-AI-language-interpreters I
have difficulty using GHCi because I can't define functions interactively.
Would it be possible to introduce a mode to do that?

I know that the semantics of haskell would make this considerably difficult,
but I presume it could be done by you currying wizards out there. ;) I
imagine something like defining and undefining functions (and types, etc) ,
and perhaps going into "interactive" modules which would be separate
namespaces.

And if LISP can do it, why can't you? ;)

That might be a lot more comfortable for sketching a piece of code.

Thanks,
