## This module contains code for reading from `stdin`:idx:. On UNIX the
## linenoise library is wrapped and set up to provide default key bindings
## (e.g. you can navigate with the arrow keys). On Windows ``system.readLine``
## is used. This suffices because Windows' console already provides the
## wanted functionality.
