GHCi and the compiled program do not buffer the output in quite the

This comes up so often that perhaps GHCi should advertise those
differences. For example, the starting message could say something
like this:
___ ___ _
/ _ \ /\ /\/ __(_)
/ /_\// /_/ / / | | GHC Interactive, version 6.?, for Haskell 98.
/ /_\\/ __ / /___| | http://www.haskell.org/ghc/
\____/\/ /_/\____/|_| Type :? for help.
For a list of differences between GHCi-interpreted and GHC-compiled
programs, type :differences
Loading package base-1.0 ... linking ... done.
It is in the FAQ. The FAQ is currently a bit hard to navigate and could do with
splitting up into separate pages, though.
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC:FAQ#If_I_print_out_a_string_using_putStr.2C_and_then_attempt_to_read_some_input_using_hGetLine.2C_I_don.27t_see_the_output_from_the_putStr.
We could consider adding a message along the lines you suggest... any other
ideas?
Cheers,
Simon
