Hm. Expect would do it more or less trivially, I should imagine, and,
in RIO style, it oughtn't to be hard to do it in Xterm. Anything that
interposes a pty between the actual tty and the destination can manage
it. I'm not even sure that that isn't the way readline does it.
I presume the reason it hasn't been done is more that one can't satisfy
everyone, rather than it being impossible. Of course, the readline
library is dynamically linkable :-)
