What about display the eval_tmpfile result in the REPL? so the behavior is similar to vs-code's Julia extension?

An interesting idea, but needs refinement. As implemented, it typically prints the eval output immediately after the julia> prompt, which means I can't always look at the REPL and distinguish between input I typed and output generated by evals. At least, it needs to print the output on a new line, and it should try to highlight that it's eval output (maybe with colors, maybe by inserting # comments that clarify that they're output).

Related thought: CIDER uses overlays to display eval results in the source buffer. Maybe it makes sense to clone this feature.

Also, unless it becomes much more unobtrusive, this feature should be opt-in.

I just implemented this feature as an opt-in in f64e0d7: set to julia-snail-repl-display-eval-results to t to try it out.
