you can do this:

ghci -interactive-print=Text.Pretty.Simple.pPrint

then every output in a ghci session will be pretty-printed, see https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_guide/ghci.html#using-a-custom-interactive-printing-function

(when I read the original accouncement, I thought this was the main purpose, but I do not find this mentioned in the docs)

Thanks for letting me know about this feature! This is pretty handy. I added a note to the README:
