Rlwrap is a wrapper program around readline, so I've stuck it in readline.scm. I realized while testing some of the programs I use regularly I've been negligent in submitting patches, so here's the first one I have.

+readline library to allow the editing of keyboard input for any command. You
+should consider rlwrap especially when you need user-defined completion (by way
+of completion word lists) and persistent history, or if you want to program
+'special effects' using the filter mechanism.")
