Shell:
HBASE-19770. There was another issue opened where this was identified as a
problem so maybe the shape will change further, but I can't find it now.

New commentary from [~busbey]:
This was a follow on to HBASE-15965. That change effectively makes it so none
of our ruby wrappers can be used to build expressions in an interactive REPL.
This is a pretty severe change (most of my tips on HBASE-15611 will break, I
think).
I think we should
a) Have a DISCUSS thread, spanning dev@ and user@
b) based on the outcome of that thread, either default to the new behavior or
the old behavior
c) if we keep the HBASE-15965 behavior as the default, flag it as
incompatible, call it out in the hbase 2.0 upgrade section, and update docs
(two examples: the output in the shell_exercises sections would be wrong, and
the _table_variables section won't work)
d) In either case document the new flag in the ref guide
