wished feature: multi line editing in history

[c0b]

I understand current implementation of history is by lines only; same as in bash or python REPL; but came from python world, I usually use ipython (which is a 3rd party pip package) instead of the default python shell that provides additional features like history persistence, and this nice feature: multi lines editing in history

if node doesn't want to improve its default REPL shell line editing experience, I would wish this nice feature can be done by some 3rd party project like this Node Enhanced Shell, or by a plugin
