But that's annoying to type such a long line to use the `read' series, isn't it? Guile also uses readline to achieve the same effect in its repl but without this trouble (No offence to Chicken, in particular its Eggs as in breakfast and scheming ;). Should I mark this as a bug and report it? Though I am not sure I should mark it the bug of the readline Egg or Chicken core.
