Right. Hopefully there aren't too many weird cases once that is 
generalized to other corners of the language. I also never used 
REPLs for major development, only for debugging and minor tests, 
so I don't have experience with that style of development where 
you code everything in the REPL and then save the whole state, 
which makes it harder for me to evaluate how important certain 
REPL features are.
