Ah. All the other "examples" in the OP were intended to be run as files,
so I did the same thing to your snippet. It never occurred to me to feed it
to Python interactively (most likely because I don't know Python).

Perl's debugger has a similar feature, except you do need a single-letter
command ('x') before the expression to evaluate. A typically Perlish
streamlining: Abbreviated, inconsistent, and cryptic. ;-)
