 Replying to [comment:7 claus]:

 > Thanks. I think I could live with only one `*`-ed module, if that was
 necessary to get this consistency, but there's no telling what wonderful
 uses other GHCi users have come up with, or what their preferences are..
 So permitting multiple `*`-ed modules sounds safer - just adding the
 requirement that they have to be compatible.

 Can you precisely define "compatibility"?  Can you imagine implementing
 (or even describing) it in a simple way? (I can't)  I have to admit, this
 sounds way overkill to me.

 If this is really a necessary feature, can you describe a compelling use
 case?  One that doesn't have an easy workaround?
