< bound to delete-char.

< c. A new bindable readline variable: bind-tty-special-chars. If non-zero,
< readline will bind the terminal special characters to their readline
< equivalents when it's called (on by default).
<
< d. New bindable command: vi-rubout. Saves deleted text for possible
< reinsertion, as with any vi-mode `text modification' command; `X' is bound
< to this in vi command mode.
<
< e. If the rl_completion_query_items is set to a value < 0, readline never
< asks the user whether or not to view the possible completions.
<
< f. New application-callable auxiliary function, rl_variable_value, returns
< a string corresponding to a readline variable's value.
<
< g. When parsing inputrc files and variable binding commands, the parser
< strips trailing whitespace from values assigned to boolean variables
< before checking them.
<
< h. A new external application-controllable variable that allows the LINES
< and COLUMNS environment variables to set the window size regardless of
< what the kernel returns.
---
> c. The history file reading functions now allow windows-like \r\n line
> terminators.
