I’ve recently started to design a header-only reusable console-class that’s based on std::iostream. It can be customized by adding a variable amount of “commands”.
I can understand the header-only motivation, but have you considered using SWIG (http://www.swig.org/) to wrap you C++ in your favorite scripting language and then simply re-using the interactive shell provided by that language? For example, you'd have to write an unbelievable amount of code to provide functionality equivalent to SWIGing your logic into Python and then using from the isympy shell. Presumably also Boost.Python would be a possibility instead of SWIG if you wanted Python. I suggest SWIG only because it supports a broader range of scripting languages and because I know it better. - Rhys
