Also -fdefer-type-errors in ghci is broken for 8.4: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14963
I understand it's a complicated problem, but it would be sad if it were broken for all of 8.6 as well. At least how about a quick patch that emits a warning when it sees --interactive -fdefer-type-errors and says this combination is no longer supported?
