Bug #19866: Future of `readline.rb`
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19866

* Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* ruby -v: ruby 3.3.0dev (2023-09-05 master 7c8932365f) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
I wonder what is the future of readline.rb? It still tries to load `readline.so` by default. Is this intended behavior? I'd say that instead, it should rather fire a deprecation warning and load reline. Or maybe the whole readline gem should be completely removed?
