OK, I now have a better understanding of how loading works. I have a request though:
I would like to be able to specify to Workspace::copy_WS that my input file contains APL code, and nothing else. This is because the Emacs mode has the ability to send parts of a file to the interpreter, and in such cases there is no #! tag in the beginning of the block. I can of course work around this by prepending the data with #!, but then the lines numbers are no longer correct (if I send a block that contains the first line of a file, the lined numbers in the function metadata will be off by one). How about another optional(?) argument to copy_WS that specifies the input type?
