FWIW, I disagree: in my part of the world, "REPL" is the standard term
to talk about an interactive loop that "read"s a chunk of code,
"eval"uates it, and then "print"s the result.  AFAIK this description
fits the "REPL" acronym and fits most interactive loops like that of
a shell, or those of languages like OCaml, Lua, Python, younameit.
