@krinkle A surprising number of PL design workarounds are "just add another equals sign" 🙃

I've been experimenting with an 'evaluate up to cursor' mode for my PL project. I love evaluating self-contained snippets in Lisp, this generalises the idea. The interpreter remembers the arguments when you run tests, then can re-use them when you say 'eval up to here'. What do you think?

Spent a bunch of time learning about text diffing algorithms this evening. "Myers Algorithm" refers to a specific paper written by Eugene Myers, and he published faster algorithms later! https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic/wiki/LCS-Algorithms
