Comment (by Frederik):

 By the way, it would be nice to have either this feature, or a working
 "breakpoint" command (I guess the latter is preferable). As it is, I
 cannot think of another way to define a bunch of quantities in a file
 (e.g. 50 statistical measurements), and then view and manipulate them in
 ghci. Either I should put them into a function, in which case I need a
 breakpoint to look at them individually, or I can load them in ghci - but
 without line numbers for errors, I am limited to small lists of commands.
 Perhaps it is possible to write something to load a file line by line
 using the GHC API?
