It doesn't actually impliment all of libreadline - just it's most common uses. Last time I checked libedit couldn't emulate readline's callback mode. I looked at implimenting the callback stuff, but it would be really hard to do properly 'cos of how libedit is structured. (In the end I hacked something together, but it's really ugly.) David.
