Maybe I'm missing something, but there are already three eggs which
implement line editing and command history for csi.  There are the
readline, linenoise and parley eggs.  Parley is the recommended to use,
because it is in pure Scheme and does not block threads while reading from
the input port.

See http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/parley for more info.

Hope this helps,
Peter
