Assume this situation

Test/
  Foo.hs <- this is module Test.Foo
  Bar.hs <- this is module Test.Bar

Test.Foo imports Test.Bar

If I cd into Test, and do ghci Bar.hs everything is fine, module
Test.Bar is loaded.

If I do ghci Foo.hs it complains about not being able to find Test.Bar.

My request is that ghci looks "up" in the hierarchy and assumes that the
user wants too look for modules in .. if the module Test.Foo lies in the
file Foo.hs

Of course this will not always work, symlinks and other things, but it
would be useful. Now I have to do "cd ..; ghci -i. Test.Foo" instead.

Regards,

	Martin
