Node REPL does not honor `uncaughtException` listeners

Version: master
Platform: Linux blocky 4.13.0-38-generic The binary and long term compatibility with node #43~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 14 17:48:43 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

REPL commands

$ node
> process.on('uncaughtException', (err) => console.log('caught' + err));
> throw 'hi';

OUTPUT :

Running process.hasUncaughtExceptionCaptureCallback() in the REPL console outputs true, so it is understandable why the listener isn't called.

However

> process.setUncaughtExceptionCaptureCallback(null);

throws the Error:

Error [ERR_DOMAIN_CANNOT_SET_UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION_CAPTURE]: The `domain` module is in use, which is mutually exclusive with calling process.setUncaughtExceptionCaptureCallback()

I could not find any documentation of this behaviour for the Node REPL.

Is this a bug, or is this a desired behaviour which has to be documented?
