Description

Often I find myself wanting to do some formatting or just to have the results of a REPL command easily available to me for a longer time. It would be nice if there was a built-in facility to both evaluate the current REPL command and send results to a new buffer and pop the results of the last command to a new buffer.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current REPL interaction code and identify how commands are evaluated and results displayed. Look for existing buffer creation utilities in Emacs Lisp to implement a new function that captures output and opens a new buffer.
