well, this is a suggestion that i offer from seeing how my betters
code, i haven't tried it myself and ymmv as they say.

i notice that alain often tests code snippets in console before
adding them to his code, i imagine that this allows him to clear
out typos and syntaxicological errors before launching a compile.

while this may help algorithmic stuff, it probably won't help
interface code as you don't get that in the console.

personally, i found that having a good shell and a good idea
of where i was going was a help, then i'd add on a function at
a time and compile after each. i hate to add on more than one,
'cos i often find that i spend more time trying to track down
bugs [mine], than i gain in reducing the number of compiles.
