If some undergrad wants a fun one-week project to start the summer... Write a replacement for "readline" that can be used by the Racket command-line REPL.

Two reasons: (1) avoid license and not-working-out-of-the-box issues with "readline"; (2) you can do cooler things, like auto-indent, paren-matching, and up/down cursor that works in whatever portion of the terminal the text occupies.

This can probably be layered atop "http://www.neilvandyke.org/racket-charterm/";. If you find you need some low-level feature not in that library, such as some additional reporting of terminal characteristics or state, I could probably be persuaded to add it.

Neil V.
