Repl specials don't work with "load-file" (unless it is the last)

[tomasz-biernacki]

If we try to load a file

(ns foo.load-require)
(require 'foo.bar.baz)
(def a true)

with (load-file ...) it will fail because (require ....) is a repl special and needs "special" treatment.

[arichiardi]

By the way in clojure:

user=> (doc load-file)
-------------------------
clojure.core/load-file
([name])
  Sequentially read and evaluate the set of forms contained in the file.
nil

Sequentially is the keyword, but we first need #92 of course.

[arichiardi]

To expand on this, if we evaluate sequentially, form by form we need first to have all our repl specials as macros injected at runtime. Alternatively we could call read-eval-call, which includes process-repl-specials on each form but this looks hack-ish and rushy to me so I prefer to give priority to #92 first and come back on this later.
