Hello list,
It would be really great if someone could get to the bottom of our
readline support and fix a couple things.
* Tab-completion: Works great for functions, not so much for arguments?
If at the repl you type `(string-' and press tab, you get a list of
symbols bound in the current module that start with string-. Of
course it would be nice to restrict these to procedures, but hey. But
if you type `(string-ref fo' and press TAB, you get nothing, not even
if `foo' is bound. Bummer, no? It's been this way for at least 10
years but I know that readline can do the right thing. Please fix?
* History: Expression-oriented, please!
It would be great if going back in the history cycled through entire
expressions, not line-by-line. Again I know that readline can do
this. Please fix? :)
Thanks! It's an isolated hack, but many of us will thank you for fixing
it!
Andy
