Would this kind of tool be more useful than Geiser?  I find that
auto-parsing of the project could really help refactoring stuff and jump
to definition without having to evaluate every module.  The REPL can
stay there for on the fly modification of the program of course, but
perhaps a communication would be necessary between the auto-parser and
the REPL.  What do you think?
