Consider a D REPL session like this:

void foo() { bar(42); }

Assuming implementation complexity is not an issue, what do you
feel is the more natural semantics for a REPL? Should foo now
call bar(int), or should it still call bar(long)? (feel free to
generalize the issue)
I was curious to see what the existing REPLs did, but they seem
to have bit rotted and no longer compile.
Most REPLs I've used are for languages with dynamic typing.
Perhaps take a look at a C REPL and see what it does?
