You of course knew this, but if/when Keith's interpreter's patches make 
it in, this will be close to solved.  One remaining bit is that we need 
an mi "-interpreter-complete string" command that hands the "string" 
argument to the cli command line completer and returns the result(s) of 
the completion.  That is necessary to implement tab behavior.  That is 
on my list of things to add, though it is lower than some others that I 
have to deliver, so I am not sure when I will get to it.

Other than that, the PB console works fairly well...
