I'm having a lot of problems with using readline in a project,
and I suggested to the other developers that we use zle instead.
It's very likely that we will do that, if we can rip it apart of
zsh. ;-)
This made me wonder. Why not make it a library? As an
alternative to readline? Now readline is cool, but we all know
zle does better in a whole lot of ways.

This reminds me of a similar idea which I had. It'd be nice if the text
entrie widgets in the GTK X toolkit had readline/zle-style behaviour.
I think that it'd be in line with what the GTK people are trying to
accomplish if you could, say, have some global setting which says
"Hey! I'm a vi person!" and then do ^, $, dw, etc. inside text entry
widgets. Man, tab-completion in the file selection widget. That would
just completely rock.
Anyway, I briefly thought about yanking zle out and using it, since,
as everyone on this list knows, it's the best. 8^) I decided not to
do it because I'm a bad programmer, but also because I would have to
pull zle out of zsh myself. If it were libified, then projects like
that would be much easier.
Thanks for zsh!

Ok, I'm now officially ripping zle out of zsh and building a
library libzle out of it. If anybody is willing to help, that
would be greatly appreciated (I had my first glances at zsh
sources a few moments ago).
If you think that should be an "official" zsh-team project, just
so great. Should that be conducted in one of the existing lists?
Or would you be willing to provide a new list, so people not
involved aren't bothered by us?
[I'm not yet subscribed to any of the zsh lists, I will once I
get impressions concerning where should this work happen]

I believe you will find this extremely difficult. Last time I
looked, the completion code would dig around in just about every
data structure in zsh (the downside of programmable completion).

Let's hope it's not _impossible_... we all know how great zle
is. It will likely make completion code dig around just about
every data structure in programs that use libzle... so what? ;-)
