Ahhh, I was assuming this was an ~/.inputrc setting all the time, that
was the source of our misunderstanding. Since the user will want it on
for some apps and off for others, I guess this is not globally
customizable. I know rl can be customized per app, but finding the
right app identifier was always a black art for me. I'm not even sure
whether this is always possible or requires the app to register itself
with rl (with the implication that many apps may be not currently
doing this). Another possibility is to set an environment variable and
then call the app with the right environment.
