Idea... Is it possible to modify the terminal prompt when running in REPL mode?

My idea is to be able to persist state somehow and use commands to set some sort of static value...

If I was making a network tool...

Input command (explicit)

> ping tacobell.com

... output ...

> set-host tacobell.com

 (tacobell.com) > ping

... same output, no prompt for host (implicit) ...

 (tacobell.com) > dig

... output of the `dig tacobell.com` command (implicit) ...

Or more simply, a different character? hehe

This should be possible with a call to program.options.prompt = 'some new prompt >'

See https://github.com/hongaar/bandersnatch/blob/main/examples/repl.ts#L33

However, there seems to be some kind of bug with the REPL server. You need to type Space + Backspace in the new prompt to see this behaviour. Not sure what is causing this. 🤔
