amc explain from the toplevel
Closed this issue · 0 comments
So, Amulet's errors are pretty informative, and the suggestion to use amc explain
to get additional detail is very nice. That said, it's a bit weird to be in the toplevel and be given the suggestion to use a separate command line tool to get at the information.
When getting an error in the toplevel saying try 'amc explain 1001' to see it
my first instinct was to see if amc
was a valid function so that amc explain 1001
would be valid in the toplevel as well as the command-line, immediately followed by checking :help
to see if it had any sort of :explain
command to get at the information. When neither worked, I went looking for something like open import "amc.top"
or open import "repl.ml"
to see if Amulet has some sort of toplevel helpers module that isn't loaded by default, but saw none.
Having some way to get at this information without swapping to a different terminal would be nice.
