This sort of duplicates #5254. Or the issue could be about having a way to drop into the REPL after -e (keeping those classes on the classpath, or course...)

Upgraded to improvement for the feature request. Or is that a downgrade?

The workaround is -Xscript foo. For some reason, the default -Xscript Main disables wrapping. I can't focus on why, at the moment, because of all the domestic turmoil.

Dropping into REPL after -e would be an anti-feature.

Edit: the problem is that -Xscript indicates "code is script" and also specifies the entry point; there is no way to differentiate "find the entry point" or "create it". The problem would be mitigated by picking a more obscure default name than Main. On default, if search fails, then wrap.

The script runner is not the REPL, and failing to run is a bug, not an improvement.
