long-lived sessions (python, shell, etc.)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

On chatgpt when you define a python function, or you import a module, it is then available for subsequent commands. This opens up a workflow where you build a tool in an early stage and then use it in a later stage, without the need to write the code to files (which is a valid workflow too).

Describe the solution you'd like

Don't have a design in mind. In other automation scripts I've created an ongoing subprocess for the the shell or repl and then continued feeding code into it and getting results out of it.

Describe alternatives you've considered

To reuse code, you can instruct gpt to write it to files, but that is a less natural way for it to write code, it becomes an extra layer of complexity.
