We have to be careful here, because it changes the repl reader, and I think
it breaks geiser, at least it did last time I tried, admittedly a (very) long time
ago.
If we change the default, assuming there would be no (more?) license problem, we
need to make sure it does not beak geiser, or provide a deactivate-readline procedure
(I don't think there is one): currently, and afaict, there is no way to reverse
'things' as there were, once readline has been activated.
Cheers,
David
