plugins
- replace /^=/ with 'return'
- handle locals
- override debug.debug
- supple (http://cgit.gitano.org.uk/supple.git)
handle locals (debug.sethook?)
- debug.sethook, catch return of our chunk and grab its locals
- rewrite source code/bytecode before evaluation
- custom interpreter patch to "pcall and get bindings"
- custom module that dips into internals to "pcall and get bindings"
some sort of debugger?
don't contaminate globals
tab completion (__complete metamethod)
- "safe" evaluation (don't allow calling of C functions, except for those in a whitelist?)
displaystack instead of displayerror(err)? (should xpcall return false, stack_table?)
visual REPL (like Factor; being able to print multi-colored/multi-sized text, images, etc)
syntax highlighting
paren/brace matching?
snippets?
code navigation (go to definition?)
repls that "attach" to different objects (ie. inspect a single object; self is that object. completions happen against that object?)
browsable/searchable REPL history
- not entirely sure what I mean here...
safe termination of evaluated code (if I Control-C during an evaluation)
store stdout/stderr output in a variable somewhere?
persistence (pluto-based image)
