Your use case is exactly the one that should be handled by {{Session#readLine}}.
I think it may be easier to just create a new LineReader in this call.

Would you like to propose a patch to the ConsoleSessionImpl class ?

> I don't know what the intended use case is for session.readLine, but the
> behaviour w.r.t backslashes is odd.
> I use is to prompt for a password from the user. So in an action, call
> session.readLine("prompt", '*'). However, if the user's password contains a
> backslash, readLine doesn't return what the user typed, which is mighty
> confusing.
