[Feature request] Real-time evaluation

[gauthsvenkat]

Hi,

Would it be in the scope of this project to have a "real-time evaluation" mode where the input expression is evaluated in real-time as you type (in the interactive mode) and produces a "ghost text" of the output before hitting enter?

The online editor is pretty much real-time: https://numbat.dev/editor.html (#550)

Nice!

Seems like it is running a different version, as currency conversions (at least) don't work. E.g., 1 eur to gbp fails in the online editor.

But yes, this is pretty much what I want, but in the terminal / repl.

Not a different version, but currencies are currently not supported, correct.

@sharkdp would it be possible? qalc does this, and I'd love for that feature.
