%% NOTE:
%% this is an attempt to replicate `erl -pa ./ebin -pa deps/*/ebin`. it is
%% mostly successful but does stop and then restart the user io system to get
%% around issues with rebar being an escript and starting in `noshell` mode.
%% it also lacks the ctrl-c interrupt handler that `erl` features. ctrl-c will
%% immediately kill the script. ctrl-g, however, works fine
