The proposed command would do the same as `sbt console`, but without project's classpath. This would be handy, when one wants to experiment with Scala's REPL, while the project does not compile.

The problem with `sbt console` is, that it tries to compile the project and does not start the REPL when Scala's compiler throws errors.

For this purpose I propose to add `sbt repl` command.
Another option is to modify current `sbt console` command so that it runs REPL even if compilation failed.
