Taylor: just for your reference, here is an implementation along the lines
of what Tim suggested:
function Base.include(path::AbstractString, lines::AbstractVector{Int64})
lns = open(readlines, path)
include_string(join(lns[lines]))
end
Now include("file.jl", 10:20) will evaluate lines 10 through 20. You can
also do include("file.jl", [1:2;9:10]) to evaluate lines 1 through 2 and
then 9 through 10.
I’m going to put this is my .juliarc.jl :)
