Adding dependency on jline to compiler pom

it's optional (only for REPL) => you suggest to add it with <optional>true</optional> in the pom ?

note : maven-scala-plugin 2.11-SNAPSHOT add jline in the classpath when calling scala:console (useless in other case)

Does anyone have any reason why we should *not* add the jline artifact as a dependency of scala-compiler from 2.8.0 on?  I believe it's an optional dependency, but adding it in the pom will make life easier for maven-repo-aware dependency managers.
