 In Julia mode, the REPL supports something called *prompt pasting*. This activates when pasting text
 that starts with `julia> ` into the REPL. In that case, only expressions starting with `julia> ` (as

+well as the other REPL mode prompts: `shell> `, `help?> `, `pkg> ` ) are parsed, but others are
 removed. This makes it possible to paste a chunk of text that has been copied from a REPL session
 without having to scrub away prompts and outputs. This feature is enabled by default but can be
 disabled or enabled at will with `REPL.enable_promptpaste(::Bool)`. If it is enabled, you can try it
