Hey guys,
When working on Elixir itself, we need to recompile after every change. I
know how to recompile Elixir modules, it's in the README e.g. `bin/elixirc
lib/elixir/lib/kernel.ex`.
What if I change one of the erlang files e.g.
lib/elixir/src/elixir_module.erl - how do I recompile that?

I understand the reasoning. That's why I suggest the name `take` NOT the
name `first` to make it clear there is no implied ordering.
The use case for this is often while working in IEx. I have a collection of
_somethings_ and I want to see what one _something_looks like. I don't care

You want to add a default of 1 to Enum.take/2? I personally don't mind that but
I think it takes away from the explicit nature of the module. I prefer
explicitness if we are only saving a few keystrokes.

I don't think this would improve Elixir. Elixir favors explicitness over
implicitness and fewer keystrokes and the only argument for this seems to
be convenience.
More worrying, `Enum.take/2` returns a list of items. If there was an
`Enum.take/1`, I'd expect it to simply default the number of
