Hi! As you may or may not know, Lua uses _PROMPT and _PROMPT2 in the
standard REPL (indeed, it's described in the reference manual).
Their default values, e.g. when unset, are "> " and ">> ". There are
some reasons why this isn't good:
1. Terminals have block selection mode (hold control while selecting).
The different widths makes this difficult.
2. That's about the only reason.
