Describe the bug

The lazy evaluation and traversal of a large datastructure through the repl's :p command cannot be interrupted via ctrl-c.

Steps To Reproduce

• nix-repl> pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {}
  nix-repl> :p pkgs
  

• Try to stop it with ctrl-c
• Be ready to send a TERM signal from another terminal or wait... quite a while.

Expected behavior

Ctrl-c should stop the current evaluation and return to the repl prompt in a timely manner.

Metadata

$ nix-env --version
nix-env (Nix) 2.28.3

Additional context

I'm writing some flake-parts modules that handle and name nixpkgs instantiations for memoization purposes... I triggered this quite a few times in debugging even after I already knew not to in theory.
