I'm not sure what to say to that.  Do you really want to type "raise 
SystemExit" every time you want to exit the interpreter?  (Your answer 
would probably be something like "No -- that's why I use Ctrl-D".  But 
that wouldn't really get us anywhere, would it?)

My point is that there is currently no acceptable, universal way to exit 
the interpreter.  Again, it's not that big of a deal... but it seems 
silly that something apparently trivial like that cannot be done right.
