# This is a hack to simulate a REPL for VOC (http://pybee.org/voc)
#
# Behind the scenes, every time you try a new expression it appends it to a temporary
# file, recompiles it and re-runs it, omitting the previous output.
#
# This has the caveat that if some expression you enter raises an exception,
# it will be always raised no matter you give in the next input.
#
# This is an experiment I did because I wanted a quick way of trying things without
# having to create a bunch of files everytime.
