jshell prints the value of the variable for "var declaration" snippets.

$ jshell
| Welcome to JShell -- Version 19
| For an introduction type: /help intro

jshell> import java.lang.reflect.*;

jshell> var ba = Array.newInstance(byte.class, 10)
ba ==> byte[10] { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }

jshell> var s = "hello"
s ==> "hello"

It may be useful to print inferred type and the value for "var" declarations.
Much like the output from /vars command

jshell> /vars ba
| Object ba = byte[10] { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }

jshell> /vars s
| String s = "hello"

Without the inferred type, user may sometimes get confused about the type of the var (inferred type of the var vs runtime type of the value). S/he may think "I've got a byte array here and I can pass to a method expecting byte[] "

jshell> var ba = Array.newInstance(byte.class, 10)
ba ==> byte[10] { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }

jshell> new String(ba)

I'm filing this enhancement based on the following github interaction with Bruno Borges.
