Setting a lambda prompt in Haskell

If you want a nice looking prompt in ghci you can set it in your ghci.conf

If you're on a mac or linux it should be at ~/.ghc/ghci.conf. Create the file if it doesn't exist and add the following for a pretty lambda prompt : )

:set prompt "%s λ: "

If you add this:
:set prompt "%s λ: "
instead you get a lambda and the modules in scope
