Note that utop already provides these features and much more:

I'm not sure improving the toplevel is a good investment of your efforts, given that there exists such a nice alternative, and that the switching costs are basically zero for toplevels.

Hi,

I was wondering if readline support for the OCaml toplevel would be appreciated. I understand that running the repl with "rlwrap" solves a similar problem but if we were to implement readline support, we may later on build on it with tab-completion, etc.

If it is needed, I would be glad to implement support.
