      @clacke Intriguing question (though I assume not yours?).

      Is repl.it worth looking at?

      I tend to use 'set +x' and 'set -x'
      or just print stuff to debug scripts

         @Dave Morriss @Charles Stanhope I was looking for something else and this showed up on StackOverflow.
         
         One of the answers pointed out that the question is not quite as funny as it sounds: the interactive bash is actually just a RE_L, it doesn't print!
         
         There isn't anything to print, really. Functions and commands only return return codes. But if you put the return code in your PS1 then bash becomes a REPL. 😀

            @Charles Stanhope @Dave Morriss repl.it was one of the serious suggestions. I'm happy to note that no answers or comments were snarky. The implied snark in my OP here makes me the worst offender, but I think I wasn't too bad, and I didn't do it in their face at least. 😀
