repl: allow leading period in multiline input

When writing multiline input, one can't chain function calls as if the
lines begin with a period, since those are treated as REPL commands.

Before:

    > ([0, 1, 2]
    ... .map(x => x + 1))
    Invalid REPL keyword

After:

    > ([0, 1, 2]
    ... .map(x => x + 1))
    [ 1, 2, 3 ]
