  • Group .clear and .break together as equivalent in default REPL
  • Simplify descriptions of dot commands
  • Clarify that .clear only resets context in custom programmatic REPL

PR Summary

Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only change; main risk is minor confusion from list formatting/wording tweaks around .clear behavior.

Overview
Updates the Node.js REPL guide to simplify and regroup dot-command descriptions, combining .break/.clear as multi-line escape behavior and tightening wording for .help, .editor, .load, .save, and .exit.

Adds an explicit clarification that .clear only resets the full REPL context when using a programmatically created REPL (with a short require('repl').start() example).
