Comment(by simonpj):
This would be easy to do (use `fsep` instead of `sep`) but it'd affect the
display of all types in GHCi. That is, types would be displayed with as
many arguments as would fit on each line. Perhaps one on one line, three
on the next, two on the next...
{{{
f :: a -> b -> c
-> Either a b
-> [b] -> [c]
-> b -> c -> a
}}}
If that's what's wanted, it's easy to do. Perhaps broadcast a proposal to
ghc-users?
