Subject: Please convert me to ielm (or sort of)
Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2021 23:24:36 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADs++6gRz9vLQLN2jyoedraTz4LT2uJv2t+WL7UXSojjhuJu_Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi people,

How do you handle history in ielm?...

More precisely: suppose that you were trying to learn something and
after running, say, 42 sexps, in ielm you sort of learned it - and a
lot more. How would you save these 42 sexps, or the more interesting
sexps among them, to your notes?

I am asking because this is trivial in eev - eev enforces a style in
which we save all interesting sexps in our notes, see:
http://angg.twu.net/eev-intros/find-escripts-intro.html#7 - but I
would like to add a section to its docs explaining that I never
learned ielm properly, but it _seems_ that ielm people would do
something similar by doing the things such and such...

I guess that most of the people who use ielm are not compulsive
note-takers like me, and don't have a goldfish-like memory (*) like
me, but some may be...

  Thanks in advance!
