When I first started (quit) and (exit) are the first two things I've tried
for getting out of the Repl. Having either of those work for terminating the
REPL would be great. Using exit-clojure or quit-clojure instead will
continue to require the user the look up how to terminate the REPL
somewhere, at which point they might as well read about C-d.
For example, here's what happens when someone new to Python tries to exit
the interactive console.

>>> quit
Use quit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit
>>> quit()
