Integrating libreadline into ed is not possible without breaking 
changes.  And since ed is supposed to be backward-compatible with over 
50 years of scripts, that is, unfortunately, not an option.

Nonetheless, rlwrap works well with ed and is probably your best option 
for history and command-line editing.
