Would it be possible to recognize when something is removed from
use-modules and to re-evaluate the whole file in a fresh REPL then?

Basically what I want is the quality of configuration-free
auto-completion I get in IntelliJ for Java. And I know that that’s a
very high bar. Avoiding the need for extra-actions is also important for
new users, because it reduces the amount of extra-actions needed to
start working efficiently.

Would it be possible to re-evaluate on save?
(defun re-evaluate-buffer () …)
(add-hook 'after-save-hook 're-evaluate-buffer)

Best wishes,
Arne
