I think this dates back to the days when quit always terminated the whole
process rather than the current REPL.  However, there seems to be a bug:

$ csi -q
#;1> ,q


$ csi -q
#;1> (repl)
#;1> ,q

Error: unbound variable: unquote

        Call history:

        <syntax>          (unquote q)
        <eval>    (unquote q)   <--

In other words, the , syntax is not handled properly in subordinate REPLs.
