I thought I have pointed this out already, maybe not clear enough:

Just to be clear. We already *have* linenoise support and it can
be used in csi. This comes with some restrictions though as linenoise's
FFI calls block, which in turn block the scheduler but that may not
affect you when you are not using threads in the REPL.

Cheers,

Christian
