+This example is intended purely for educational purposes to demonstrate how
+Node.js REPLs can be started using different I/O streams.
+It should **not** be used in production environments or any context where security

+approaches that mitigate these risks, such as using secure input mechanisms and
+avoiding open network interfaces.
