One possibility might be to use the `rlwrap` utility, which provides a
standardized readline interface to any program having a dumb
input/output mechanism (the cost, of course, is that you lose any
program-specific completion).  However, to do that, we should disable
Gap's own readline, which the manual says `-E` should do but it
doesn't seem to work as I expect.

Cheers,
