load does not load changes

[zingales]

load will not load modified functions

if you load a file, modify a function in that file, it will not update the function even if you call load again.

The problem extends to any modification in the file. Once loaded once, it will not load any modifications.

example:
create file bob.j

in file:
function bob()
println("bob")
end

julia> load("bob.j")
julia>bob()
bob
julia>

go to file modify:
println("bob") ---> println("i'm superbob")

julia> load("bob.j")
julia>bob()
bob
julia>

Really? That's always worked for me. Although there is the issue that if there are certain types of errors in your file (like not enough end's and maybe not enough )'s), it will silently fail to load.

make cleanall fixes the problem.
