repl: disable Ctrl+C support on win32 for now
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Disable Windows support for interrupting REPL commands using
Ctrl+C by default, because the switches from console raw mode
and back have been interfering with printing the results of
evaluated expressions.

This is a temporary measure, since the underlying problem is
very likely not related to this specific feature.
