Patch seems to work great and I can now type 'exit' without command mode
being spawned when typing the 'i'.

It's behaviour is almost identical to VIM's.

A little more indepth examination, and I can see VIM's wait is approximately 
double of what the readline patch's wait time is.  However, I think the shorter 
wait time is more functional as when typing a double char, it in no way takes 
as long as VIM's wait time unless you type the same char with your finger and 
then use a toe to type the second char.

Matter of fact, I'm starting to find VIM's long wait time length a little 
annoying.  ;-)

Great job at guessing the wait time!
