A really simple proof of concept for a haxe interactive shell

Console.hx

/** 
A super basic interactive console for haxe.
Done because someone on the mailing list asked and I got distracted :)
Consider this code Public Domain.

Run using: 
  haxe -lib hscript -x Console.hx
(you will need hscript installed via haxelib)
