I conclude that putting a prompt on the first user entry line of each
statement is a mistake that can only be solved by removing it. I see
three alternatives. Discussion here or there welcome.
Having a prompt *only* on the first line is bad.
Not having any prompt would be worse.
Doing what the standard interpreter does would be best (and consistent
for users of both). ie:
>>> if True:
... pass
...
>>>
Where both prompt characters can be user defined for bonus credits...
Being able to strip the prompts when copy/pasting (like PyCrust does)
would earn a gold star.
