Reactor doesn't reload elm-package.json #229

I was following along with the tutorial and was surprised when I got stuck: I added elm-lang/http to my elm-package.json, but no matter how hard I hit the refresh button, elm-reactor continued to complain "Could not find package elm-lang/http."

It only started working after I visited the root page, noticed that the package wasn't in the list of packages, reloaded the root page, and then went back to my elm file.

Shouldn't elm-reactor automatically reload elm-package.json when it changes?

(This is elm-reactor 0.18.0, on Windows 10, in Microsoft Edge 40.15063.0.0)

Thanks for the issue! Make sure it satisfies this checklist. My human colleagues will appreciate it!

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.
