Great, but couldn't you type some command which would screw it up, by accident?
What do you mean?
Say your implementation uses some global variable called $history. Not global variables but class attributes.
Now say I type "$history = [];" at the interactive prompt. Won't that break it? Of course not. We read chars one by one on stdin. If a mapping is detected, then we call the associated callable. The line is never executing/evaluating as a PHP code (except if this is what you want obviously).
