bug#12207: repl and comments or tabs

[Andy Wingo]

Hi Neil,

Mailing you since you were the last to touch the REPL, and perhaps you
have a desire for a small hack :)

There are two bugs that bother me off and on.  One is that pasting
Scheme code into the Guile REPL can cause autocompletion if the Scheme
code has tabs for whitespace.  I wonder, is there a way to fix that?

Another is that going up into the history where the history has
multi-line Scheme expressions with comments doesn't work, because a
comment from line N will cause lines N+1,N+2... to be commented out --
because they all end up on the same line.  Is there a way for the
history to preserve the multi-line nature of the input while only having
one prompt?  Dunno, just a thought.

Hope all is well.  Let me know if you are interested in these bugs.

Cheers,

Andy
