How to load cabal script with import of hidden package in cabal repl?

I have a script with an external dependency that I can execute with cabal run. I want to load this script in ghci/cabal repl with as few side effects as possible.

This is my script:

#!/usr/bin/env cabal
{- cabal:
build-depends: base
            , split
-}

import Data.List.Split (splitOn)

main :: IO ()
main = do
  let orders = splitOn "x" "axbxc"
  putStrLn $ head orders

I can execute it per Compiling a haskell script with external dependencies without cabal with

$ cabal run script.hs

But if I import it in ghci there are problems with the external dependency:

Since I have added ‘split’ to the build-depends of my script, is there some way I can point ghci to that part? I'd like to keep things as simple as possible and not add more files. I'd also like to avoid installing libraries on system level to avoid version conflicts and keep everything reproducible.

suggests the *M form but that doesn't seem to work for me:

Per suggestion from Noughtmare:

cabal repl script.hs does not work for me:

$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 3.6.2.0
compiled using version 3.6.2.0 of the Cabal library 
bash-5.1$ cabal repl script.hs 
cabal: 'repl' doesn't take any extra arguments when outside a project:
script.hs

However this works:

$ cabal repl --build-depends split

Solution

Since cabal 3.8.1.0, you can invoke cabal repl on the script:

$ cabal repl script.hs

See the last part of the documentation of cabal repl:
https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cabal-commands.html#cabal-repl

For older cabal versions you can first open a repl with manually specified dependencies and then load the script:

$ cabal repl --build-depends split
...
ghci> :load script.hs
