 Currently, the constructors for the Prefs record are opaque. Therefore, if
 a client application wishes to programmatically set non-default
 preferences, the only safe way is to write out a temp file in the
 .haskeline format, then read it back in.

 It would be much simpler to either expose the constructors, or provide an
 API for changing the settings directly. I notice that older versions
 exposed this module, so perhaps there is a reason for keeping the actual
 constructors hidden while exposing enough to client code.
