Linedit is a readline-style library written in Common Lisp that provides customizable line-editing features.

· single-line text reader
· multi-line form reader
· completions on packages and symbols in current image
· completions on directories and filenames
· apropos-word and describe-word

· unlimited kill-ring
· unlimited history

· use in REPL on SBCL
· paging
· fully customizable in CL
· works on Linux, FreeBSD, Darwin
