Our default of last_expr is chosen specifically so that the for loop example above does not produce output, because we think that's more likely to be annoying than useful. There is no way to control this from the frontend, and I don't think we have any intention to add such a feature.

For Python, we decided that it makes sense to automatically display the result of the last statement if that statement is an expression, and implemented that using the details described above. For R, I implemented similar behaviour based on the evaluate package by creating an output_handler with a value= parameter.
