Prints a string as if it was produced by REPL. However, it has none of the magic the REPL has for printing types like arrays, or using quotes for empty strings on collections, etc.

Printer.scala

object Printer {
 import scala.reflect.runtime.currentMirror
 import scala.tools.reflect.ToolBox
 val toolBox = currentMirror.mkToolBox()

 def print(s: String) = {
    val tree = toolBox parse s
    val typedTree = toolBox typeCheck tree
    val tpe = typedTree.tpe.widen
    val result = toolBox eval tree
    s"""|scala> $s
        |$tpe: $result
        |""".stripMargin
 }
