Comment (by claus):
starting somewhere in 6.7, you can define something like that yourself.
the trick is to have a :redir command that allows you to capture ghci
command output. then you simply do :show modules, capture the output, and
grab one of the modules listed there for :browse.
add the attached cmds.ghci to your .ghci, or source it with :cmd readFile
"cmds.ghci". then, :b <mod> will call :browse <mod>, and just :b will call
:browse on the first module listed in :show modules. adapt the code to
your needs.
there is a patch pending for ghc head that will allow us to avoid having
to compress ghci definitions into single lines, which will make things
like this a lot more readable and maintainable..
