Research direction
Start by reviewing the implementation of PR #4933 to understand the stub used for value binding in dotty.tools.repl.ReplDriver.bind. Then, implement the actual binding of values by modifying the relevant source file, likely in the same directory. Check the linked issue #3007 and any comments in this issue for additional context. Ensure the binding works correctly during REPL initialization commands.
