+ "Rlwrap is a 'readline wrapper', a small utility that uses the GNU
+readline library to allow the editing of keyboard input for any command. You
+should consider rlwrap especially when you need user-defined completion (by way
+of completion word lists) and persistent history, or if you want to program
+'special effects' using the filter mechanism.")
