I would like to see a restructuring of the old readline
package:
1. a _new_ readline package that only contains the interface that
can be
implemented using libeditline _or_ libreadline. If this package is
call
"readline" (with a new version number) most libraries i.e. like
Shellac
would not need modifications.
I disagree. Readline should stay as it is. (Why force existing
readline users who use functionality not supported by editline's
emulation layer to change the package they are using?)
Instead, we should have a new module whose interface coincides with
editline's readline emulation. Everybody who wants to use editline
when available and readline only if editline is not available can then
use that new module (which I called EditReadline in my previous
post). GHC will be one of these programs.
