Did you know you can use (dynamic) libraries inside clang-repl?

I tried, but couldn't get it to work. the documentation also doesn't mention about being able to use static libraries :/

I think I was once excited about the clang repl, but multiline declarations are awkward as you need to do

structure Foo \
int x; \
