Yes, it would be a wonderful idea.. but Hugs would need to be madified since
a) it has no history, tab compleation, or other nifty interactive features,
b) you can not define functions interactivly in Hugs, and c) someone needs
to come up with a good set of shellish libraries and whatnot --- this last
part is the interesting part from a language point of view. I suppose if
someone fixed (a) and (b) (if only to improve the usability of Hugs in general)
then (c) could be an evolutionary process.
