Research direction

Use the linked QuickJS repl.js as the reference and inspect the current njs CLI entry point to determine the scope of a pure-JavaScript implementation. Start with the proposed low-level OS wrappers modeled on the QuickJS os module; the work is done when the CLI no longer depends on libreadline or libedit and the required wrappers are covered.
