NAME
       Devel::REPL::Plugin::MultiLine::PPI - read lines until all blocks are closed

SYNOPSIS
	   #!/usr/bin/perl

	   use lib './lib';
	   use Devel::REPL;

	   my $repl = Devel::REPL->new;
	   $repl->load_plugin('LexEnv');
	   $repl->load_plugin('History');
	   $repl->load_plugin('MultiLine::PPI');
	   $repl->run;

DESCRIPTION
       Plugin that will collect lines until you have no unfinished structures. This lets you write subroutines, "if" statements, loops, etc. more
       naturally.

       For example, without a MultiLine plugin,

	   $ my $x = 3;
	   3
	   $ if ($x == 3) {

       will throw a compile error, because that "if" statement is incomplete. With a MultiLine plugin,

	   $ my $x = 3;
	   3
	   $ if ($x == 3) {

	   > print "OH NOES!"

	   > }
	   OH NOES
	   1

       you may write the code across multiple lines, such as in "irb" and "python".

       This module uses PPI. This plugin is named "MultiLine::PPI" because someone else may conceivably implement similar behavior some other less
       dependency-heavy way.
