It would be nice if GM detect when a loaded script file is changed and reload automatically the script, removing the hassle to have to reload the page manually.

For example if I have the following script:
GM_log("First version");
Changing it to:
GM_log("Second version");
and saving the script the old version in unloaded and the new version is loaded.
The result should be that I see in the error console:
First version
Second version

This would be useful only for the script development, but it would speed up a lot the development because you haven't anymore to switch every time between editor and browser and reload the page.
