Even though the utop projects provides readline features, wouldn't it make sense to have basic feature support on the default repl for the language?

Maybe utop is what I could try also...

Note that utop already provides these features and much more:

I'm not sure improving the toplevel is a good investment of your efforts,
given that there exists such a nice alternative, and that the switching
costs are basically zero for toplevels.

Hi,

I was wondering if readline support for the OCaml toplevel would be
appreciated. I understand that running the repl with "rlwrap" solves a
similar problem but if we were to implement readline support, we may later
on build on it with tab-completion, etc.

If it is needed, I would be glad to implement support.
