And as an additional benefit, we can later put bindings in for the "real" libedit (rather than its readline compatibility layer) in this package. It turns out that the compatibility layer is deficient in several ways if you want to write interesting line editing code (e.g., binding a new key shortcut). > 3.

In particular, downstream packagers can make the Racket package depend on libedit (e.g., for Debian/Ubuntu). Mac has libedit by default AFAIK. I suspect it won't work on Windows, but that's no worse than the status quo. Cheers, Asumu -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Developers" group.
