I started playing around with different ways of extending the Erlang shell. The reasons, as if a reason were needed to start hacking around, were as follows: * When writing his book, Joe Armstrong received a lot of frustrated comments about why it wasn’t possible to declare a module directly in the Erlang shell * Having watched Richard Carlsson’s presentation on the array module at EUC 07, I thought I’d try to implement a way to clean up some of the output from the shell. * John Hughes commented that it would be really nice (for QuickCheck users) to be able to use macros in the shell.
