Research direction

Reproduce the nested-module switch on Julia 1.9 with RemoteREPL 0.2.17, then inspect src/client.jl around run_remote_repl_command at line 369. Confirm the Expr-to-Symbol conversion failure and identify the compatible handling for the module command; done means switching to a nested module no longer raises the MethodError.

Description

julia versions 1.9.0, 1.9.1
remoterepl 0.2.17

everything generally works fine, the error just pops up when you switch to a nested module
did not occur on julia 1.6, didn't check other versions

julia@localhost> %module A.B
ERROR: MethodError: Cannot `convert` an object of type Expr to an object of type Symbol

Closest candidates are:
  convert(::Type{T}, ::T) where T
   @ Base Base.jl:64
  Symbol(::Any...)
   @ Base strings/basic.jl:229
