Honestly, I didn't know that the readline support existed and used `rlwrap lilypond scheme-sandbox` for editing and history support in the REPL.

That's not half of it.  Without readline, no editing other than
backspacing (and deleting) previously entered content is possible.
While of course it is important to try different variations of commands
without typing them all over (particularly when typos may be involved),
not even being able to correct a typo before hitting RET is a real
nuisance.
