It'd certainly be nice if we could use Readline on Windows. I do not
think we want to buy into maintaining our own fork of Readline, if that's
what you're trying to suggest. If it "just works" now, that'd be great.
Otherwise, maybe you should be speaking to the Readline maintainers
about what changes are needed in it?
