                        ability to evaluate code via elm-repl-push{-decl} without switching to the REPL buffer
This change allows elm-repl-push and elm-repl-push-decl to work without switching to the REPL buffer.
The use-case I'm addressing is to evaluate code directly from a source code buffer, with minimum disruptions.
The details of the change are:
- 
elm-repl-push&elm-repl-push-declaccept a universal argument which controls whether or not to switch to the REPL buffer after the push.The default behaviour is:
- if the universal argument is not given or 
nil, switch to the REPL buffer (the same as the current behaviour) - if the universal argument is 
non-nil, stay in the current buffer after the push 
 - if the universal argument is not given or 
 - 
Setting the variable
elm-interactive-flip-arg-switch-behaviourtonon-nilreverses the default behaviour above.
So, anybody who didn't want to switch to the REPL buffer after a push and don't want to use the universal argument all the time can set this tot. - 
After a push, functions in
elm-interactive-after-push-hookare run with the result of the last push- Currently this hook contains 
elm--print-resultwhich prints the first line of a possibly multi-line string in the echo area (this is so that the echo area doesn't grow and create an unnecessary visual distraction) 
 - Currently this hook contains 
 
Thanks. This solution is greatly overthinking things IMO, and adds unnecessary complexity: it would be conceptually much simpler to just add a separate command that evaluates the selected region and prints the result in the minibuffer.
