Hi,
As most of you know, the current php interactive shell is pretty much
useless without compiling php --with-readline, but for the most users this
the first impression what they experience (eg. using the php interactive
shell without readline support).
There is an alternative readline replacement called linenoise (
https://github.com/antirez/linenoise/) written
by the author of Redis, and
I would like to know, what do you think about using that for the
interactive shell if php is built without readline support.
It is really small/compact and it is under the two clause BSD license so I
think it would be a good candidate for bundling it in php.
What do you think about it? Is it something worth looking into?
