[ESS] --no-readline ?

[Martin Maechler]

ESS has its own history and editing commands and readline would only
interfere with that.
so --no-readline  is really part of the deal....

though it could be that --- with all the advances in Emacs since the
time the ESS was first used ("S-mode" in Emacs 19.xz)
ESS could be made working with readline.   OTOH I would not spend time for that.

For those of use who believe " the source is real "  the history is
very rarely important.  All the relevant things are in
*.R scripts (or nowadays *.Rnw or *.Rmd  documents).
