I can't reproduce this. The potential redisplay issues aside, if you
have a file named `readline' in the current directory, or if the
completion for `eix' returns `readline' as the only alternative, the
word should expand to readlineline (or readline/line if readline is a
directory). Completion always takes place at the current cursor
position, and the reverse history search leaves the cursor before the
character found (`l'). When I replace `eix' with `echo', I see
`readlineline' displayed as output.
