[issue44603] REPL: exit when the user types exit instead of asking them to explicitly type exit()

Unfortunately, there is no REPL *layer* as my previous comments mentioned.

There is a few details that change for interactive mode but fundamentally the pipeline is the same as reading from a file, except that the file is stdin and it has some special logic in the parser to do that in a lazy way and fail fast. But there is no semantic information that separates REPL for non-REPL.
