A file has code surrounded by a module declaration. It includes definitions of some types and some functions. In the REPL (ESS) I include the file and execute a function that returns me an object x of type MyModule.Foo. Then I change some of the code and include the module again. The type Foo is unchanged.
It seems to me that when I execute one of the module functions on x the original version of the function, not the revised version, gets called. If I recreate x then I get the current function definitions aka what I wanted. First, is my understanding of what's going on correct? Second, any recommendations for dealing with this? In this case regenerating x was not a big deal, but I can imagine situations that weren't so trivial. If there were lots of objects involved, one could keep a script that creates them and rerun it.
