It's a big REPL patch. And it contains:

 * Eliminated a bug which was causing all repl lines to be parsed twice
 * Removed reference to JLine from InterpreterLoop which was causing someone trouble in eclipse
 * Enriched the repl compile/reflect mechanism to allow retrieving the value as well as the String describing it
 * Utilized said enrichment to write an eval[T] method which is exposed in the repl in :power mode
 * Added ability to turn off string unwrapping in repl: settings.unwrapStrings = false
 * Created interface presently called Completion.Special which lets objects define their own contents
 * As minor demonstration of above, in :power mode variable "repl" implements Special and completes with all repl identifiers
 * As more interesting demonstration of above, try a repl session like...

import scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.Completion.Special import
scala.tools.nsc.io.Process

val connections = new Special { def tabCompletions() = Process("netstat -p tcp").toList drop 2 map (_ split "\\s+" apply 4) }
connections.<tab>
