REPL.ends_with_semicolon broken on adjoint operator with comment

[dstahlke]

This string is parsed incorrectly by ends_with_semicolon:

julia> REPL.ends_with_semicolon("W = W' * W; # comment")
false

My guess is the single apostrophe (adjoint operator) is interpreted as a quote.

I wonder if there is a backstory to this issue?
As it is, the function REPL.ends_with_semicolon is an internal helper. Is there perhaps an issue with the REPL you encountered and that traces back to this ? If so it'd be helpful to know the original issue.

I assume it was something like this. The REPL shouldn't print the value.

julia> foo = 123'; # comment
123
