FWIW, it turns out that mine is actually 2.2.1.

After reviewing the old code, this is seemingly what it did. The history
functions are then used without declaring them. I should probably squeeze
a patch for this into 7.0.1. Of course, updating readline to a "sane"
version is a valid workaround as well. (And believe me, there are plenty
of "insane" versions out there that we already had to put up with.)
