I want to see what packages GHCi is loading when, for my information and because it generally takes a little time so I'd like to know what it's doing. (note that packages can be loaded later on, too, not just when ghci starts up) Whereas I don't want my (personal) time wasted with a distracting banner - not even if I want higher-than-normal verbosity for debugging purposes.
