Summary: Before this commit you could type `Meteor.is` in a `meteor shell` session and then tab to see a list of possible completions (e.g. `Meteor.isClient`, `Meteor.isServer`), but typing a prefix of a global variable name like `Mete` followed by tab has been broken ever since we stopped using the global object as the REPL context: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/commit/7c7e52f2d2 The reason for that commit was to prevent the REPL from overwriting the global `_` variable (which most Meteor developers expect to be bound to `require("underscore")`): https://github.com/meteor/meteor/3227 This commit solves #3227 by making `repl.context._` a read-only property that is permanently "bound" to underscore. As a bonus, we now intercept assignments to `_` and store those values as `repl.context.__`, so you still have access to the last result in the shell via `__`. Test Plan: Run `meteor shell`, evaluate a few expressions, and see that (1) global variables can be tab-completed, (2) `_` remains bound to underscore, and (3) `__` gets bound to the result of the evaluated expressions.
