Another issue I didn't think of with printing the unquoted translated
command is that it can include newlines, which is a problem since you
have to read the `bind -X' output one line at a time to reuse it with
`bind -x'.
If there isn't a backwards compatible way to produce output that is
reusable given the current input format, I wonder if we can leverage a
format that's not currently valid as input.
Rather than embed more and more shell-specific output formats that readline
doesn't parse into readline itself, I'm more inclined to add a hook to
allow an application to print the value of a key binding itself. I don't
know if it makes sense to let the application display anything but macro
values, but something like
typedef void rl_macro_display_hook (const char *kseq, const char *value,
int ptype);
So you end up with
typedef void rl_macro_print_func_t (const char *, const char *, int);
rl_macro_print_func_t *rl_macro_display_hook = (rl_macro_print_func_t *)NULL;
and have rl_macro_dumper call
(*rl_macro_display_hook) (keyname, (const char *)map[key].function,
print_readably);
if it's non-NULL, and let the hook function determine how to print the
binding.
