A D wrapper around the GNU readline/readline file
readline is a powerful library for reading the user input from the console.
For example if an application frequently asks for user-input during its operation then using readline provides the following benefits: - User can browse previous submitted lines using up/down arrows. - Terminal shortcuts (e.g ctrl+r, ctrl+w, ctrl+y) are enabled by default. - Providing text auto-completion, by default it is enabled to complete files and directories for the path that the application was run from. - Make the application use the customized configuration that the user defined for readline on his machine.
There are much more functionalities that the readline library provides. Please refer to the documentation for the more information: - http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html
