multiline queries/expressions in shell's .sql/.python commands

What does this involve? Is this small enough to make it as a syntax change by summer school?

[riastradh-probcomp]

This involves writing a little state machine in the bayeslite shell so that it can accrue the multiple lines, like it does for normal BQL query input. It could be done by the summer school but it's not terribly important -- at worst, you have to write your query or Python expression on one line. (If we supported statements in .python, then it would be marginally more important.)

Not using shell anymore, should we obsolete this?
