In principle, this is a good idea.  In practice, each specific case is
likely to have its own difficulties, larger or smaller.

It would be useful to look at whatever changes Emacs variants
have made.  Their choices may have been good ones.

Would you be so kind as to post again the text that you're referring
to?  As far as I know, Emacs does not have such a command.  It has M-:
and C-x C-e.

Or... are you talking about languages other than Lisp?  Most of those
languages do not HAVE functions comparable to read, eval, and print.
They may have the ability to execute a program sent interactively
but the term REPL is not applicable to them.
