We want PyREPL to syntax highlight Python code, like this:

Theming support is planned, but a separate concern. This issue is about enabling syntax to highlight correctly whenever color is used within the REPL anyway.

This is a feature for 3.14, with some test and code refactors that we will be bringing back to 3.13 for improved future maintenance.

    What do we think about adding color to pydoc's repl interface? At a minimum that could be highlighting quit/help etc. in their respective color...?
