[New-bugs-announce] [issue24442] Readline Bindings Don't Report Any Error On Completer Function Exception

[Perry Randall]

New submission from Perry Randall:

Noticed this while writing a non-trivial completion function for readline.set_completer. When an exception is thrown in the completion function readline doesnt do anything, squashes the error, this should not be the case.
