Currently, REPL by default is in lazy mode. Strict mode prints too much.

Normally REPL should print the sane number of levels, something between 2-6.

Also strict probably should use normalizeValue, not normalForm.

Maybe distinguish thunk and cycke or just replace the <CYCLE> with honest <THUNK>.
