Lile a small fast configurable line editing facility

Interpreters, e.g., k and q, sometimes have no command line history or editing.

A solution frequently recommended for k and q is rlwrap.

I find rlwrap too big and slow, especially for the tiny, fast k and q interpreters. It feels sluggish.

I have begun experimenting with "lile", a modified version of "ile" which apparently dates back to 1988. I have not seen it discussed anywhere on today's www.

It is small and fast. Custom key commands can be assigned per application using configuration files.
