 My ~/.inputrc maps <up> and <down> to history-search-backward and history-
 search-forward in programs that use readline. This functionality is simply
 not available in haskeline. If it was, I couldn't bind it to <up>/<down>
 because as far as I can see haskeline only offers vi-style key remapping,
 not binding to input editing functions. There also doesn't seem to be a
 way to add actions from Haskell; getInputLine is a black box without
 hooks.

 So what I want right now is history-search-backward/forward but I also
 think there should be a comprehensive set of bindable line editing
 functions and a way to define new functions in Haskell.
