Barry was serious.  IDLE does this right -- it remembers and lets you
recall and edit entire multi-line commands.  It's understood that
readline doesn't support this, but at the same time it's a severe
limitation that means that readline will never be good enough for the
E in CP4E.  This doesn't mean it's not an improvement over no line
editing at all!
