Console: Can't exit a block without writing a statement

[Nick Chadwick]

You need to write a statement inside a block before the console lets you
exit the '...' mode.

Syntactically this is correct, but it might have usability concerns.

eg.

if True:
...
...
...
... Let me out!!

I have confirmed that this bug still occurs. It makes me sad and I don't know what
I'm doing wrong.

Perhaps we can add some nicer error codes to let newbies know what they've messed up
in a nicer fashion?

Yes - this is one way that the command compiler appears to differ to the
real interpreter loop.

I've had a bit of a look, and I can't see an obvious way to fix this.

Probably not too important, but I think we at least need a 'let me out'
button (post-Alpha). Is there a way to tell the interpreter to just forget
what it has buffered? Or alternatively, just write 'pass' until it stops
asking for more (but we'd have to figure out the indentation level. Grar).
