Title: SI-6381 Honour -Yrangepos in the REPL

The motivation for this, aside from simple consistency, is to make range positions a little more accessible for macro tinkerers.

I wasn't able to find any prior discussion about why this needs to be an option at all, ie why we can't have range positions all the time. Performance? Robustness?

This is a followup to #1307, which applied the same fix to the Ant tasks.
