Summary: friendly quit object

Initial Comment:
Today, there is no cross-platform way to quit.

Today, typing quit returns a message that suggests the 
interpreter is willfully disobeying you.

Instead, change the quit object to one whose __call__ 
will exit, and whose __str__ says something like

"""
quit() exits the interpreter, by calling this quit 
object.
"""
