Add a 'shell' command with history and autocomplete support.

Add a 'shell' command (will replace 'prompt') that supports history (with ) and context sensitive autocomplete. Use the jline3 library.

Have you considered making this the default for the poly command? So it would drop you in to the shell instead of complaining:

  Unknown command ''. Type 'poly help' for help.

I guess you mean if you type just "poly" then it should automatically start a shell,
but if you type something like "poly x" then the existing error message could be shown.

I like the idea and I think that is a good default and it will help people getting started!

When the new shell is in place, you will get so much speed and support from it that I believe
this will be the standard way of interacting with the tool.

Good input, and thanks @PEZ !

Yes that's exactly what I mean. 😄

I was able to get command history using clj -Tpoly shell - clj has that built in.

Okay cool. The new shell command will also support autocomplete and knows which arguments are relevant for each command + can autocomplete bricks, projects, dirs/files, etcetera.
