FYI, Autoreload.jl has this `@ausing` macro that will autoreload the module
on modification AND update the Main symbols, so there's no need to qualify
the module name all the time. It's much more convenient than Julia's
default behaviour IMO.

If you reloaded the whole package each time some code said
using Compat
you'd be very, very unhappy. Once the module is defined in Main, that's where
it fetches it from (which is why it's so fast).
If you reload the package with `reload("Compat")`, then any future `using`
statements refer

Cedric,
Yes, you have identified the issue: when I say "using file.@mac" followed
by "macroexpand(:(@mac expr))" at the REPL prompt, then future 'include'
statements do not reload the macro definition. However, if I skip the
"using" directive and qualify the name as file.@mac in the
Are you `using` the module? In general, `using` and reloading don't play
very nice with each other. I just tried with a module like
module foo
macro aa()
20
end
end
and when I use the module name
include("foo.jl")
foo.@aa
it works out.

Cedric,
I encountered this issue in the following context: the macro is defined
inside a module. I test it from the REPL using the macroexpand function.
When macroexpand bombs or else gives me the wrong expansion, I edit the
file with the macro definition and reload the module via include.
Maybe you already know this, but macros are applied at parsing time (or
right after parsing - not sure). This means that if you have
# In Macro.jl
macro macmac(x)
...
end
# In Fun.jl
function foo(x)
macmac(something)
end
Then whenever you've changed Macro.jl, you need to reload both
Maybe workspace()?

Replace the top-level module (Main) with a new one, providing a clean
workspace.
The previous Main module is made available as LastMain. A previously-
loaded
package can be accessed using a statement such as using
