ghci :tags command conflicts with :type: msg#00118

Subject: ghci :tags command conflicts with :type

All,

The :tags for ghci feature that recently went into cvs:

http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2005-June/025436.html

means that unfortunately saying:

:t blah

now complains that :t is ambiguous because it could be :tags or :type.

I think this may upset people! :-) People are very used to using :t.
They've probably been doing it for more than a decade (with hugs before
ghci). Could :tags be renamed or the ambiguity be resolved by letting :t
default to the one that we obviously mean.

Duncan
