You could try reading the command line before hitting Enter *wink*
I know what you mean, and it's a tiny annoyance for me too that when I
type "help(function(" I have to delete the autocompleted opening
bracket. So I guess that's a small annoyance a few dozen times a day.
But having the opening bracket auto-added is a small satisfaction, and
if you're using the REPL for actual calculations and not just help(),
the benefit probably outweighs the annoyance:
# save up to four opening brackets
result = function(myclass(arg)) + another(x).method()
So I don't think that have the extra complication of a switch to turn
this feature off is a good idea.
