Anybody use this program? It seems end up in surprising but useful places. For me, + rlwrap - I use this even for mail(1) although it complains about it lol + rlwrap & ed is very nice. Maybe cheating at ed. It's like ed + emacs + readline bindings are common in apps on Mac OS like Safari and Notes + rl mode in edbrowse. Niche but powerful

>>1 readline gets a line from a user while echo is to meant to display a line of text.

>>2 right, apologies- what i had meant to say was `read`. (i was that anon, i'd just forgotten to log in)
