Rather than using the REPL, wouldn't it be far easier just to write a tiny
Julia script that reads strings, executes them, and prints the result (or
puts it on the clipboard or whatever)? e.g.
while true
println("RESULT: ", eval(parse(readline())))
end
You could easily modify this with a try...catch block to catch exceptions
and do whatever you want with it, etcetera. It seems like this would
be easier and much more flexible than hacking the REPL.
