Semicolon is not handled between imports at the ghci command prompt

[JohnWiegley]

You cannot use "import Data.List ; import Control.Monad" at the ghci command prompt. It gives:

<no location info>: parse error in import declaration

Patch attached.

Thanks for the patch, parcs. However, if I understand it correctly, it only works for import declarations?

If we support that, then we should presumably also support

import Data.List ; let x = 1

or

let { x = 1 } ; let { y = 2 }

John, how did you come across this?

[parcs]

Yes, it only works for multiple import declarations. I can investigate supporting the two examples you mentioned.

It was brought up in #haskell, I just reported it because another user was having difficulty registering for the Trac.
