For the record, this can be achieved simply by running `ed` with
`rlwrap`.
$ rlwrap ed
That's what I do, thanks to one of the @ed1conf tweets. I think other
people use this method, too. It gives the functionality without having
to change ed, following the "do one thing and do it well" philosophy.

Hi Antonio,
I'm not sure if you prefer a specific patch format, but I've attached
a git formatted patch for my changes. These are by no means finalised
but I'd like to get your feedback on it, I'm curious to know whether
my ideas are compatible with your vision for the project.
The gist of it is that not having the ability to edit commands before
executing them or have a command history is something that isn't
really expected of programs nowadays, so I've hooked GNU Readline
into get_stdin_line(). It's currently still missing some of the
previous error handling that was there.

There are no plans to move to git, but if you plan to share your
modifications, a patch against the latest version is enough.
Best regards,
Antonio.
