Playing with Claude and my new programming language has made me add features that it wants. I think they're reasonable. `for method in methods` -- custom syntax error explaining that `method` is a reserved word `echo 'println("hello world")' | garden` -- eval snippets from stdin

Trying the nix CLI today, and I'm seriously impressed with the formatting of its --help output. Indented warnings, italics, bullets, even adding a left border to code snippets! It's a nice reminder to take full advantage of terminal features to help the reader.

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?
