I'm opposed to it. I think the current situation is fine, where CPython 
ships with a basic REPL, and other REPLs exist. I don't want to see any 
complexity added to CPython. I'm not opposed to hooks to make it easier 
for third parties to add functionality to the CPython REPL, but I'd have 
to see how they complicate things before making up my mind.
