Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked python-2.3.4-readline_custom.patch files and the issue discussion, especially the newer patch describing rl_on_new_line() and Cisco-style help. Confirm the intended custom readline hooks and identify the missing tests; done means the requested support is implemented and covered by tests.
