Comment:

 I think the docs are pretty clear:
 [http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/interactive-
 evaluation.html#ghci-scope]

 Personally I think the chances of us being able to improve matters here
 are pretty slim.  The solution that Simon suggests (keeping everything
 unless -O2 is on) would be even more strange than the current situation,
 IMO, and Duncan's suggestion is tricky to implement for a relatively small
 gain.

 Still, I'll leave the ticket open as an acknowledgment that the current
 situation is unsatisfying, and to act as a place to collect ideas.
