That's a cute idea. (no pun intended ;) )
I'll think about it.
What I'd really like to do is have user definable 'history' like sequence
of results... I like working with 'show()' turned on and just grabbing
the values that I want after the fact.
On the GUI side that kind of leads into the idea of an object inspector...
One idea would be to let the console show everything as a sort of hypertext...
you could click on a variable name or value or whatever and grab it to use it...
At minimum I agree that we should get rid of the "$_" name, it was simply a
five minute hack to save the last value...
