Description

Move to REPL namespace?

  1. Can Notify() return void instead of Boolean?
  2. Help() message
  3. Code coverage, particularly for StandardFormatter. Should this be a ITypeVisitor and StringBuilder?
  4. Obsoletes in RecordValue.
  5. Should we print a logo?
  6. Do we need WritePromptAsync? Or can that be host-side?

Research direction

Start by locating the REPL implementation and reviewing the questions about its namespace, Notify(), Help(), StandardFormatter, RecordValue, logo output, and WritePromptAsync. The issue is complete only after these separate design questions have clear decisions and corresponding scope, so it should be clarified or split before implementation.
