=head1 NAME

Devel::REPL::Plugin::Turtles - Generic command creation using a read hook

=head1 VERSION

version 1.003027

=head1 DESCRIPTION

By default, this plugin allows calling commands using a read hook
to detect a default_command_prefix followed by the command name,
say MYCMD as an example.  The actual routine to call for the
command is constructed by looking for subs named 'command_MYCMD'
or 'expr_MYCMD' and executing them.

=head2 NOTE

The C<default_command_prefix> is C<qr/\#/> so care must be taken
if other uses for that character are needed (e.g., '#' for the
shell escape character in the PDL shell.
