Research direction

Start by reviewing Modules/readline.c and the linked p2.5.1-readline.diff and trunk-readline.diff patches. Determine the intended set/get quote-delimiter behavior from those files and confirm what remains needed for the open feature; the work is done when the readline module supports the agreed behavior.
