So the question is not so much whether readline support is optional, than whether it's supported or not. (I don't know). Regarding Alexei's request, would their be any downside to the addition of the single line he submitted? If not, then, rather than a bug fix, it could be considered an improvement. What I'm getting at is that I've seen arguments that the requested addition might in some (many?, most?) cases not be necessary, but not that it would be harmful. So would it? If no harm is expected, beside some changes to an optional, unsupported feature, then perhaps it should be considered. The fact that the shell is out of the main library should possibly make it easier to improve without going through an extensive process.
