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...
