Repl output destination and formatting

[LouDnl]

Recent changes in the way the REPL Window prints evaluated code had me wondering why the output was being preceded by a semicolon. After not being able to find an answer to my question I asked about this in Slack, this started a thread that might be better being discussed here.

My personal opinion is that I am very used to having a repl-window where I can write a piece of code, evaluate it and have the output printed directly beneath it. This is how a repl (Read Evaluate Print Loop) should be I think. Understanding that the repl-window was prone to crashing because of lingering characters etc. is also something I can relate to and one of the reasons I frequently emptied the repl-window.
The current version of Calva where the printed output in the repl-window is preceded by a semicolon makes it very unreadable. The solution to this is to change the output destination to terminal. However, this means that you would need to have another window open next to the repl window and any other windows you have open. I think this is (and feels) counter intuitive to the way a repl should be.
