Windows Task Manager doesn’t say Julia is using all the CPU though. I have no earthly idea why writing a partial function call would freeze on a non-…

My guess is that it’s the the REPL autocomplete code that is trying to obtain possible completions from the sympy object that is causing the issue. Can the autocomplete be turned off somehow?
