iex trick: how to continue after a typo

iex is the interactive elixir tool. It’s a great repl.

Sometimes when editing you make a typo and get stuck in the edit loop.
On a new line you can use:
iex.break

This will cancel the current edit item and allow you to continue.
This means that you don’t have the shell restarting and don’t have to set up all the global state that you have been working on.
