[haskell/en] Extended section on GHCi
- Added the :i command, as i feel that it is as useful as :t.
- Added another example for :t, hopefully showcasing it's flexibility
- For consistency, changed the name of (.) from function to operator
  (as is already the case with ($)), and added a short remark in the
  GHCi section that (most) operators are also functions.
