Comment:
We do use libedit because it's what's available on Mac OS X by default.
Readline isn't bundled because of licensing issues. We are aware that
libedit misses functionality (the biggest problem is certainly missing
support for multibyte characters). But this isn't a MacRuby problem, you
should report this to Apple using http://bugreporter.apple.com.
Alternatively, in trunk (future 0.7) there is a new irb implementation
(called DietRB) and it is possible to plug some pure-ruby readline code on
top of it, fixing the multibyte input problems.
