Description Timothy Hatcher 2015-01-25 10:00:45 PST

Lets change these weird things since no one in my unscientific poll (https://twitter.com/xeenon/status/559388400864591872) uses them.

We should assign previous values a number starting with $1 ($0 will still be the current selected DOM node). Anything not null or undefined (or 0?) should get assigned. If the value (strict equal) has a $n referencing it already, don't make a new one and reuse the previous $n. The $n should be shown to the user in the console for quick at-a-glance reference when typing new expressions.
