For GCL and Clisp, I believe that is true.  For sbcl and cmucl, I don't
think there is readline support available - I use rlwrap for those if
I'm on the command line.

Linedit would be part of the "everything we need in Lisp" approach :-).
 For GCL with readline I agree it is pretty much redundant.
