* It is possible to link the readline module to the readline

* On OSX this emulation library is not 100% API compatible
* with the "real" readline and cannot be detected at compile-time,
* hence we use a runtime check to detect if we're using libedit

* - 'get_history' has a 1-based index with GNU readline, and a 0-based
