But comint's history is not as functional as the history provided by
some Readline programs:
That's too bad, but if you're in comint, you get comint's history
feature. That is the only thing that makes sense. However, we could
arrange for comint to save history from one invocation to the next, if
that is desired.
No. I think they would go through the pty to the subprogram. I was
suggesting that Readline would stop seeing the pty as a pty and treat
it more like a stream.
What exactly would tell Readline to start treating the pty that way?
That is, how does Readline know it is time to read a completion
command rather than a line of input?
