The reasons for the change (which I did) were twofold:

1) When long REPL results are sent back, the old code first
   transferred them to Emacs with one big message, then printed them.
   Thus for a long time, you would not get any indication of what is
   happening.

   The new code does the usual stream buffering, sending many
   moderate-size messages to Emacs.  So you can see the progress.
   
2) To support nested presentations in REPL results, when present.lisp
   is loaded.

Best,
Matthias
