See, that makes a lot of sense on the surface... And I find it playing out across a lot of the modern IDEs like PyCharm...
But I don't think it actually has to be that way.
DrRacket blew most of what I knew out of the water. It could refactor for me, trace functions and calls to definitions through multiple libraries, which included argument arities. I could write code in the REPL and push it back up into the editor, or vice versa.
