No, perhaps not. But it would perhaps be nice to have some kind of 
platform-independet way to expand either current Java system properties 
or process environment variables (or both) in arguments of jshell's 
slash-commands. So one could do for example:

jshell> /env --class-path {user.home}/JavaLibs/guava-21.0.jar
|  Setting new options and restoring state.

jshell> /env
|     --class-path /home/peter/JavaLibs/guava-21.0.jar
