There is native Windows editing like arrows, etc and history, though the
history is not kept between sessions.  If windows is now using readline,
then odds are we are shipping libreadline to make that happen, and we
are then linking using a supplied GPL library (and we don't have the
OS-installed exception).  I hope I am wrong.
