On closer inspection, http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/ doesn't actually have UTF8 support, it has UTF32 support. And it only supports this by implementing a brand-new wide-char API that resembles (more or less) the original <histedit.h> interfaces, but with UTF32 (wide-char) arguments. Thus, by using wcstombs() and mbstowcs(), one can get UTF8 support, but it does require writing new code. Arghhh.
Most annoying is that the easy-to-user API of readline() and add_history() is not actually UTF8-capable; but one can hack around this by writing wrapper routines that call the UTF32 interfaces. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
