On second thought, these are not trivial to split and test. Roughly
every line consists of one call to a function that is tested
otherwise, and just prints or shows some output. All the lines are
pretty much independent and serve for different purposes, so maybe
testing is not necessary/useful/.... Also, many people will use these
interacts for inspiration, using sage.interact.xxx??, and splitting a
simple interact into unrecognizable format would make them useless in
that sense. It would be good to keep simple interacts simple.

So if those interacts are included into the library as they are, that
means they get once-in-a-lifetime peer review, and some testing for
compatibility in future versions (if they throw an exception, it will
be caught). Ok, that is fine. I'll review them, and proceed to include
others, unless anyone has any other thought.
