Or you can also put some of the requirements on the command-line, and
drop the verbose start up messages via:

    $ cabal repl -v0 -z --repl-options -package=iproute --repl-options -XOverloadedStrings
    λ> import Data.IP
    λ> import Numeric
    λ> showHex (fromIPv4w "127.0.0.1") ""
    "7f000001"

This way, you can define shell aliases for frequently used combinations
of parameters.
