   Interesting.   
   I'd look at it for my embedded work.   
   Today, in embedded projects that feature command interpreter, I either   
   use my own line edit/history code or one I stall from Microsoft ~20   
   years ago (Microsoft's license from 20 years ago encourages stealing,   
   as long as result isn't GPLed).   
   I both cases I am not fully satisfied with behavior of command history.

   I wouldn't use libreadline in OS-less or lite-OSed embedded software   
   even if it had most anarchistic license in the World. It's too huge and   
   convoluted and probably assumes things that I don't want assumed.
