Build a simple application with a readline interface.

Readline interface is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

The interface should provide

  • a history
  • commandline editing
  • application specific commands

The application could be based on Simple database or something else.

If the language already provides a readline interface, then it should be demonstrated how build an application specific readline interface (one that only understands the applications commands) and also show how to customize the builtin readline to provide the above features and especially add application specific commands.
