Right - but that still keeps the existing JLine-based provider, and so the problems it has still exist (albeit with a lower severity). This proposal is not the only sole possibility, of course. Other possibilities include removing the JLine-based provider, or fixing the problems in the JLine provider one-by-one. I don't object to any of these possibilities, although I didn't want to offer them in the first step.
