Trying to troubleshoot/resolve a compatibility problem
that has appeared with readline 8.2.

rlwrap looks like an easy way to add command line
editing to a program that reads STDIN.

This is a more complicated use case where I provide
specialized autocompletion choices and intercept certain
keystrokes.

Since you asked, the problem is that the terminal now hangs
when I unload readline, use another library to process
keystrokes, then load readline again.

I've narrowed down the problem to either a change in
readline, or a change in the interface library.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Joel
