cling goes into strange state after raising error about missing std::

[nthiery]

The following snippet rightfully triggers an error in cling:

    #include <string>
    string s

However, cling goes into a weird state where it does not accept anymore:

    std::string s

I am using cling installed from QuantStack's conda repository:

/opt/miniconda3/bin/cling --version
0.4~dev

I got the same error...

I have used cling 0.6~dev on Ubuntu.

issue may be in cling::Interpreter::unload function. It unloads headers without ability to auto-load them again.
