Are they in fact the same thing? Is your argument that a REPL _is_ the same thing in Lisp as in other languages? If so, you should be OK with using "REPL" for Lisp too. Or is your argument that REPL is _not_ the same thing? If so, since others have apparently by now co-opted the name, Lisp can switch to using "Replstiltskin". Ah, yes, fairy tales...
