Good point. If that works, I may submit a PR to pyreadline and IPython
to *not* have pyreadline use the colliding "readline" name by default
- users who want to have the functionality in the core interpreter can
configure it to do so, and users who have problems with that (as I did
- see https://github.com/pyreadline/pyreadline/issues/18) can avoid
doing so. I'll try it out.
