Re: [Chicken-users] readline egg v2.0 feedback

[Alexej Magura]

I think that a reasonable solution would be to (1) create the history 
file if it does not already exist, (2) allow users to explicitly 
disable/enable history keeping at any time, (3) simplify history file 
installation to include only about a line of code, (4) add an option to 
either wipe the history file completely, truncat it to X many lines or 
history transactions.

How does all that sound?

Also, it's worth noting that we're currently on version 2.4 with 2.5 on 
the way.
