Thanks. Not only because a package takes too long to load, but also when I
am doing long calculation, it quickly becomes annoying and most importantly
time consuming to rerun the same bit of code many times. Restarting the
kernel is not an issue for small calculation, but when you are writing a
couple of thousand lines of code, this quickly becomes annoying,
frustrating, and not helpful.
May be we need to think about a new way of doing this.
