Erlang shell, and I thought I'd ask for thoughts here before writing<br>
them up as EEPs.<br>
<br>
(1) import(Module, Functions)<br>
where Functions is a list of {Name,Arity} pairs.<br>
Effect: calls to that function from the shell don't need a<br>
Module prefix, just like -import directives in files.<br>
<br>
Reason: I often want to call a function or a small number of<br>
functions many times to explore it or test it.<br>
<br>
(2) include(FileName)<br>
Effect: reads FileName as a sequence of Erlang expressions and<br>
interprets them as if typed into the same shell.<br>
<br>
Reason: set up constants and imports.<br>
