This doesn't seem like it's working as it ought:-

filein some code with a syntax error, say due to the change from old code to Closures, where a temp var name from a block arg is later (mis)used as a method temp. You get a syntax error window, fix the problem with your Mighty Code Worrier skillz and continue.

filein some code that refers to a class not yet in the image, because, well that's what happens. You might notice the system telling you about Undeclared if you have a Transcript open.

Now filein some code with *both* problems. Oh, bother, said Pooh.

You can fix the syntax error all you like - but will the system be nice and deal with the undeclared this time? Will it buggery. It would be nice if it were nice.
