Comment:
there is an easy work-around, at least for emacs users:
start emacs like this in a separate terminal:
$ emacs -e server-start
then, in ghci:
> :set editor emacsclient -n
> :load Main.hs
> :edit
emacsclient should not block, so you can continue using ghci. the only
catch is that emacs will only open a new window if it is configured to do
that (mine only has buffers), and only if Main.hs hasn't already been
loaded into a buffer.
