[Python-Dev] quit() on the prompt

[Crutcher Dunnavant]

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.
