No.  It simply resets the interpreter to a runnable state.  It does
not clear any definitions.  SLang 2 will support such a function.

Your mixing of C and slang confused me a bit but I understand what you
are asking.  Yes, both say_hi and name will be available.  Are you
asking if a memory leak will be created by this process?  The answer
to that is no.  Reloading hi.sl a second time will free any memory
associated with the first instance.
