Hello everyone,

When I am using the REPL to test a module or script by loading it with `include("test.jl")`, if I ever modify some definitions in the ‘test.jl’ file and include it again some modifications won’t be taken into account. So I have to close and restart the REPL.

Is there a way in interactive mode to reset the environnement without restarting the julia executable ?

Thank you in advance for any advice !
