Or equivalently, shouldn't it work for him to simply type the
following to the REPL of a normal image?

    (progn
      (swank:create-swank-server)
      (loop (sys:serve-all-events)))

The LOOP will never return, and thus the REPL will read no more characters.

[Hmmm... Well... Except for hitting the debugger. And then you might or
might not *want* it to be reading...]
