Research direction

Read the two linked patch.txt files and the dependency bpo-23067 first. Trace rl_forced_update_display() in the readline extension; done means the function is wrapped and the readline module is locked while it is active. No test file is named in the issue, so identify the existing extension-module coverage before making changes.
