Tracking issue for: GHCi gradually leaks memory

Symptom of this issue: A GHCi process gradually leaks memory on it's own. There shouldn't be any 'stray and rogue' GHCi processes consuming CPU and memory non-stop.

Non-symptoms of this issue: Multiple GHCi processes, with some going rogue: Should be fixed since 0.1.16. If you're still getting this, open a new issue (or find one that someone else opened and comment).

Seems to be problem within GHCi itself: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/12848

This issue obsoletes #43 and #41.
