Interactive input
=================

Input in interactive mode is parsed using the following grammar:

     interactive_input: [stmt_list] NEWLINE | compound_stmt NEWLINE

Note that a (top-level) compound statement must be followed by a blank
line in interactive mode; this is needed to help the parser detect the
end of the input.
