I don't think I want this, especially for gdb where I actually use the
line editor a lot.  So far I've noticed the following regressions:
- arrow keys stopped working in the single user shell (the new libedit
  depends on /usr/share/misc/termcap[.db] existing).
- .inputrc doesn't work for libedit.  Libedit has .editrc but I
  don't have one and would have to look at the man page to even know
  what can be put in it.  I would have to look at the man page for
  .inputrc too, since I haven't changed mine since 1992 :-).
- important functions like reverse-search-history are either missing
  or aren't bound to their normal Emacs keys.
