By the way, when you do this, it pops up immediately
on the chat line! They think of everything.

Hi Todd,
I don't think this is a Rakudo problem. It's a Fedora 31 problem.
ALready, when you start raku without Readline installed, it gives the
message:

Which is pretty much what you are requesting in the two RFEs you posted.
The problem I think in this case is that Readline is not working in
Fedora 31 even with the following packages installed:
> rakudo-0.2019.11-3.fc31.x86_64
> rakudo-Readline-0.1.5-2.fc31.x86_64
Hi Norman,
Fedora 31 is my all time favorite operating system!
I Love Fedora! Couple that with my Samsung NVMe
drive and ... Joy!
Hmmmmmm .....
I am not using Fedora's repo for Rakudo. I am using
https://github.com/nxadm/rakudo-pkg/releases
Zef is inside the release. Maybe they forgot Readline
I like the way the package things better. Maybe
it was an oversight on their part.
And I also just became aware I am one revision out
of date.
