Subject: [ruby-core:68950] [Ruby trunk - Feature #11084] Use rb-readline	instead of ext/readline

Issue #11084 has been updated by Hans Mackowiak.


i don't know about, the binding/implementation using the C lib might be faster and have more features
so using a pure-ruby implementation might not a 100% good idea

Feature #11084: Use rb-readline instead of ext/readline

----------------------------------------
Users who want to build ruby needs to prepare readline library. 
Example for https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build/wiki#suggested-build-environment

Preparation of building environment is hard for many users.

I propose to use rb-readline that it's pure ruby implementation of readline instead of ext/readline.
