/* This module is intended to be used when the application only needs
   the readline interface.  If you need more functions from the
   readline library, it is recommended to require the readline library
   (or improve this module) rather than #if-protect part of your
   application (doing so would add assumptions of this module into
   your application).  The application should use #include
   "readline.h", that header file will include <readline/readline.h>
   if the real library is present on the system. */
