I'm also with Noel on this one - I'm not a big fan of debuggers either.  I
do find that DrScheme's error reporting is quite impressive though (what,
with all the colored lines and such).

As long as we're talking about emacs + mzscheme integration, I'm curious,
what's the preferred way of handling redefinition of code in other modules?
I know, for example, in DrScheme, after you change code in another module,
you can hit Control + T, and it starts up a fresh repl.  In SISC (while in
emacs), when I want to redefine a module, I just reimport it again at the
REPL.  In emacs, what's the preferred way to handle these changes? Does one
just kill the scheme buffer and start a new one?

I feel like I'm missing something really obvious there...
