Newcomers to PureScript expect to be able to do
$ pulp init
$ pulp psci
> 1 + 1

Pulp is a good place for user-convenience things like this. Perhaps pulp init could add "import Prelude" to a .psci file, which is executed to initialize the psci environment.
I recall a .psci file being supported by psci in the past, but it's been removed, I believe.
