[GHC] #2153: GHCi does not have a :source command to load further .ghci files

Indeed!  But it's more application-note than user manual.  Fortunately, we have a place for such material, namely GHC's "collaborative documentation" (a wiki)
        http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC

Would someone like to copy Claus's excellent message
        http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2007-September/032260.html
to the Wiki documentation on GHCi, here:
        http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/GHCi

(with his permission of course). That's the right place for it.  Sam, you'd be an ideal person to do this, because you know what you wanted in the first place, so you could make sure the answer is easy to find.  But anyone else would do fine!

Simon
