It is finally possible to use the arrow keys (at least on *UNIX) with the debugger. This is something Watanabe would definitely have liked.

  • added readline capabilities, command history, cmdline editing, command completion, etc, to internal debugger (not on Windows), thanks to Linenoise by Salvatore Sanfilippo (repo at https://github.com/antirez/linenoise.)
  • test debugger.py updated
