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?)
Your point is also supported by Yitz Gale, my point by Malcolm.
Where are the users that use the functionality not supported by
editline's emulation layer? (Shout now or be quiet ever after)
Are you seriously suggesting that we mess up users who do not read the
various mailing lists constantly to defend the APIs they are using?
