 I've been using a custom implementation of "comint-input-sender":
 {{{
   ...
   (set (make-local-variable 'comint-input-sender) 'agda2-send)
   ...
 }}}
 Implementation of agda2-send:
 {{{
   (defun agda2-send (proc s)
     "Sends the string S to PROC.
   Splits up S into small chunks and sends them one after the other,
   because when GHCi is used in shell buffers it chokes on overly
   long strings (some versions of GHCi, on some systems)."
     (let* ((chunk-size 200))
       (dolist (chunk (agda2-chunkify chunk-size s))
         (comint-send-string proc chunk)))
     (comint-send-string proc "\n"))
 }}}
 Agda no longer uses GHCi, though.
