Description

The REPL as it currently stands is great, but it could be closer in-line with the more popular REPL's by being backed by a readline implementation.

Specifically, we should:

• add variable assignment
• add the ability to do reverse searches in the history
• add the ability to use the arrow keys to recover previous inputs
• add the ability to adjust input via ~/.inputrc
• add autocomplete for function names and variable names
