Nope, that's not a decent solution.
As discussed previously, if you set lines() to a low value to avoid the 
"missing ; of death", you might break a lot of your script that 
generates some outuput on the console.
I've done it in the past, and it's never good to find out in the morning 
that the script that was supposed to run all night (and that reports 
progress from time to time) has stopped after half an hour, asking 
whether it should go own with the output on the console.
The default behaviour of the display should change and personally, I 
like the solution adopted by julia.
