#4016: Strange display behaviour in GHCi

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Kazu encountered another GHCi oddity. Try ":browse Prelude" in GHCi.
With 6.12 we get
{{{
data Integer
= integer-gmp:GHC.Integer.Type.S# GHC.Prim.Int#
| integer-gmp:GHC.Integer.Type.J# GHC.Prim.Int# GHC.Prim.ByteArray#
}}}
Why do we get the `integer-gmp:` prefix? There is no ambiguity here.
(GHC 6.10 didn't do this, but that's because `Integer` was in the `base`
package, whereas now `Integer` is in `integer-gmp`.)
