Cool. I'm pretty clear on the user-visible features that pyreadline
gives normally, if there's nothing hidden internally within IPython, I
can make a proper decision on the costs/benefits for myself. (By the
way, personally I find even terminal IPython immensely useful even
without readline)

I'd be happy to, may take a couple of days to find some free time, but
I'll sort something out.
