Syntax highlighting in PyREPL #131507
Description
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.
