Comment:

 We do use libedit because it's what's available on Mac OS X by default.
 Readline isn't bundled because of licensing issues. We are aware that
 libedit misses functionality (the biggest problem is certainly missing
 support for multibyte characters). But this isn't a MacRuby problem, you
 should report this to Apple using http://bugreporter.apple.com.
 Alternatively, in trunk (future 0.7) there is a new irb implementation
 (called DietRB) and it is possible to plug some pure-ruby readline code on
 top of it, fixing the multibyte input problems.
