Description

This is a feature request that is derived from https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/zed-julia/issues/4#issuecomment-2282894402 and https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/16102#issuecomment-2284239325:

In the development process of a technical project I very often DO NOT have full project structure of a Julia package containing

  • a src directory
  • a project description Project.toml
  • etc.

Instead I am using standalone Julia files that I want to test and develop in a "default" Julia environment, as installed on my computer. This feature request asks for the support of standalone Julia files with no project stucture and no dependency of specific package versions. The requested functionallity is basically comparable to the Python implemention of Zed.

Done means standalone Julia files work in a default environment without project structure or dependencies tied to specific package versions.
