+What does it mean that a REPL type is supported - well it means that
`inf-clojure`
+would use the proper code internally to power commands like definition lookup
and friends.
+Those differ from REPL to REPL and can't be implemented in a REPL-independent
way. At

and uses
+this type to dispatch the proper code for the respective REPL type.

+By default `inf-clojure` would start a standard Clojure REPL using
+`lein` or `boot` but you can easily change this. To boot some other REPL just
use the

```el
((nil . ((inf-clojure-boot-cmd . "lumo -d")))) ;; inf-clojure-lein-cmd if you
are using Leiningen
