readline from lua?

[Dirk Laurie <dpl@...>]

Has anyone written a module that provides readline-like input?
I.e. it allows one to:
    -- edit lines with arrow keys etc
    -- search a history file
    -- prime the input with an editable default value
    -- etc

I don't mean enabling these for the lua interpreter, I mean allowing
my own lua programs to do it.
