##### ISSUE TYPE
- Feature Idea

##### COMPONENT NAME

`ansible/lib/ansible/cli/console.py`



##### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
<!--- Describe how the feature would be used, why it is needed and what it would solve -->

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/0f5a63f1b99e586f86932907c49b1e8877128957/lib/ansible/cli/console.py#L112

`ansible-console` catches KeyboardInterrupt silently.

This may confuse new users, and a simple 'Exiting REPL!' before that `self.do_exit` would probably be helpful for someone trying the REPL for the first time.

I'll admit I was confused and didn't even realize I was back in my normal shell at first.

Alternatively, if this behavior could be made configurable with something as simple as a class or instance attribute or something that would amazing.

<!--- Paste example playbooks or commands between quotes below -->
