 An alternative REPL is available in [the Ammonite project](https://github.com/lihaoyi/Ammonite),
 which also provides a richer shell environment.

   - the REPL's IMain is bound to `$intp`.

   - use tab for completion.
   - use `//print<tab>` to show typed desugarings.
   - use `:help` for a list of commands.
+  - use `:load` to load a file of REPL input.
   - use `:paste` to enter a class and object as companions.
   - use `:paste -raw` to disable code wrapping, to define a package.
   - use `:javap` to inspect class artifacts.
   - use `-Yrepl-outdir` to inspect class artifacts with external tools.
   - use `:power` to enter power mode and import compiler components.
+  - use `:settings` to modify compiler settings; some settings require `:replay`.
+  - use `:replay` to replay the session with modified settings.
 
 Implementation notes:
 
   - user code can be wrapped in either an object (so that the code runs during class initialization)
     or a class (so that the code runs during instance construction). The switch is `-Yrepl-class-based`.
+  - every line of input is compiled separately.
+  - dependencies on previous lines are included by automatically generated imports.
+  - implicit import of `scala.Predef` can be controlled by inputting an explicit import.

+**Example:**
+
+    scala> import Predef.{any2stringadd => _, _}
+    import Predef.{any2stringadd=>_, _}
