Apparently you are right. But then the question is: why not? Is there a compelling reason why expressions on a single line separated by "&" can't treated separately, with implied print where relevant? E.g. something like this:

IDL> !pi & a = 1 & !dpi & b = 0
3.1415927
3.1415926535897931
IDL> a, b
1
0
