[Bug-readline] rl_erase_empty_line bug


From: Lauri Karttunen

This is about readline-5.2.

The documentation says:

Variable: int rl_erase_empty_line
Setting this to a non-zero value causes Readline to completely erase the current line, including any prompt, any time a newline is typed as the only character on an otherwise-empty line. The cursor is moved to the beginning of the newly-blank line.

However, I don't see this happening as described. The default setting of 'rl_erase_empty_line' is 0 but the actual behavior suggests a non- zero setting. Toggling the value of 'rl_erase_empty_line' at initialization seems not to have any effect.
