+1 Related to this is the idea that maybe the REPL should automatically wrap a line without parens with them. That way you could just enter "quit" instead of "(quit)". That seems handy for many things. For example, why not enter println "my-var is" my-var instead of (println "my-var is" my-var) It's entirely possibly I'm overlooking some reason why this is a bad idea. -- R.
