Tom-
Here's take III of the patch, with the #ifdef for
RL_PROMPT_START_IGNORE, the #else chopped, and made with diff -c against
7.4.1. A brief comment seemed warranted since this is an undocumented
readline feature.
Note that the #if is:
#if defined (USE_READLINE) && defined (RL_PROMPT_START_IGNORE)
Although this is pedantic (R_P_S_I implies U_R), it seemed more
transparent for those who come this way hence. Do as you like with it.
Fini?
