|  This breaks ghci038 on my box:

OK I'll push a revert.

I'm getting this on Windows.  I have no idea why.

|  This breaks ghci038 on my box:

|  /bin/sh: -c: Zeile 0: Syntaxfehler beim unerwarteten Wort `('
|  /bin/sh: -c: Zeile 0: `echo -- still in scope, import Prelude () is
|  subsumed by import Prelude'
|  
|  GNU bash, Version 4.1.10(1)-release (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu)
|  
|  It works if the entire thing is quoted (single or double quotes both work),
|  or if the parentheses are escaped, \(\)
|  
|  What was the problem on Windows?
