Wow, that's really scary.

An alternative might be to define your own repl that allows you do
define items that should be handled specially, and pass everything
else to a normal eval, i.e. very roughly:

  (let ((next (read)))
    (if (special-value? next)
        (lookup-and-do-special-thing-for next)
        (print (eval next (current-module)))))

and then have a little function that lets you register the special
symbols.
