If you start the REPL and then run:
sleep 50000
Or any other long running command, it'll "hang" for a long time. If you attempt
to press Control+C to abort that line, you end up exiting REPL.
When ^C is pressed while a line in REPL is running, it should abort that line,
instead of exiting. And the current behaviour is to be maintained in that
pressing ^C when nothing is running exitings the REPL.

Specifically:
[lizmat]: fwiw, I think it should be pretty trivial to catch SIGINT in a signal
handler, then die("SIGINTED") in there, and then let the CATCH handler cleanup
