It would be nice if HyREPL cycled through entire forms when looking through the history like IPython instead of just by line. It would make working in the repl a much nicer experience. So pressing up in a case like this:

=> (defn test [name]
... (print "Hello" name))
=> 

would get you

=> (defn test [name]
... (print "Hello" name))
=> (defn test [name]
... (print "Hello" name))

and not

=> (defn test [name]
... (print "Hello" name))
=> (defn test [name]

The default Python repl seems to do the same thing. Would this not be solved by using the hy repl through something like hy-mode in Emacs, or using a hy kernel for IPython?

Sure, but if we can make our REPL nicer on its own I think that's still worthwhile.

Python 3.13 has a fancy new built-in REPL, which we might be able to take advantage of.
