1. REPL in Euphoria 4.0.1

jaygade accidently committed part of my REPL implementation into the 4.0 branch.

I had committed REPL only in default, before the 4.0/4.1 split, and then promptly forgot about it. So the REPL implementation was only in the 4.1 branch until now.

Now, the question that faces us is this: should we revert the changes, or should we keep them and release REPL in 4.0.1 ?

Cons (against having REPL in 4.0.1):

REPL is a huge paradigm change. REPL has not gone through much testing and is likely to be quite buggy.

Pros (for having REPL in 4.0.1):

I can't think of any.

As useful as REPL would be, as a new feature I think that it should remain in 4.1.

Aren't the 4.0.x releases for bugfixes, etc.?

REPL is a new feature that should be kept in the 4.1 code base, not in 4.0.
