Expected Behavior

As soon as Ctrl+C is pressed, eval should throw "Uncaught Error: Script execution was interrupted by SIGINT", as in default node.js repl.

Actual Behavior

Loops indefinitely.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Open ts-node repl with ts-node, and type while(1){} and hit enter.

Minimal reproduction

$ ts-node
> while(1){}
// cannot exit

The problem is that Node does not support passing breakEvalOnSigint with a custom eval function - I don't know if there is a solution but I would be interested in one
