Comment (by ronanpaixao):
I know the newlines are ugly, but I left it as-is because correcting those
would require a lot of strips which could truncate output in unexpected
ways. I believe the principle of eval is to return whatever the program
outputs to the user and let him do the processing. Imagine, for example,
if one strips all newlines: the output of whos() would then be all
rendered in one line, completely breaking the tables.
Then, I thought about stripping at least the output of get() but then I
ran into a problem with matrix formatting, in which the first line of a
matrix would be misaligned, not to mention that taking newlines off would
display matrices in a single line.
