This is not very magical, but I think is more helpful than the current behavior. It does not satisfy the "just do what I said" argument for not requiring the call (quit() not quit), but eh -- I guess it seemed like everything that didn't require a call had some scary corner case where the interpreter would abruptly exit.
It also nicely aligns with the way that license() and help() already work at the interactive prompt.
Cheers, Nick.
