        Kernel.load $0 = repl
      end
start (options={})

Starts Boson by loading configured libraries. If no default libraries are specified in the config, it will load up all detected libraries. Options:

:libraries
Array of libraries to load.
:verbose
Boolean to be verbose about libraries loading. Default is true.
:no_defaults
Boolean which turns off loading any default libraries. Default is false.
:autoload_libraries
Boolean which makes any command execution easier. It redefines method_missing on Boson.main_object so that commands with unloaded libraries are automatically loaded. Default is false.
