I should imagine the use cases for running an interactive Python shell

I like the idea of making quit callable. One small concern I have
is that people will use it in scripts to exit (rather than one of
the other existing ways to exit). OTOH,

An IDE is likely to want to catch SystemExits in the
debugged script and handle them specially anyway.

I am probably the biggest proponent of magic variables, but this just
won't work.
First, commands and lines are not the same thing, so:
print \
exit
breaks your propossal.
Second, quit and exit are bindable variables, and you need to be sure
that they still mean _quit_, and not something else.

I believe there were concerns that rebinding quit would cause strange
behavior. E.g.:
quit = False
while not quit: ...
