Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached export_more_libreadline_api.patch and the Extension Modules context. Check the dependency on bpo-23067 and compare the patch's API and documentation changes with the current readline implementation. Done means the requested libreadline functions are exported with corresponding documentation and the relevant tests pass.
