Maybe we are talking past each other on this REPL issue.  Note
that R5RS does not even require a REPL.  It just defines
program evaluation semantics to be consistent with what
one would get in a usual REPL.  I am against requiring a REPL.
But I am for making program evaluation semantics consistent
with a REPL, as in R5RS.

I think DrScheme (in r5rs mode) is consistent with R5RS's
REPL-compatible semantics.  So would be certain pure compilers.
A REPL is rightly not required by R5RS.
