Eagerly evaluate require/use for immediate completion #214

Closed spieden closed 9 years ago

spieden commented 9 years ago

Often I add a require form to a segment and wish to complete symbols from its namespace in the very next form. Currently I have to evaluate the segment and refocus it to do so. Would there be any downsides to evaluating new requires when the completion is activated?

One of my principles with Gorilla has been to keep it as simple and unsurprising as possible. I think that this behaviour, although it could save some typing, might be a bit surprising to users, so I'd not favour adding it.
