I was thinking of suggesting that we provide a
readline(prompt::String)
method that does this. It would be useful for IJulia, because right now
if do readline() it just has "STDIN> " as the prompt.
However, I'm not sure how to write such a method in Base such that it can
be cleanly extended/overridden if you are running in IJulia.
