If that's the issue, when the toplevel is connected to a tty, it should cut the
output at some point and put an ellipsis. If it's not a tty, it should still
blast the full signature.
I'm surely not the only one who has been relying on module X = Blah to see the
signature of a module. Old habits die hard.
Also module SM = Map.Make(String) still prints the full declaration.

How does one print a module signature in utop?
