making rlwrap Clojure friendly

[Sergey Didenko]

Hi,

has anybody tried to make rlwrap lexer more Clojure friendly? Just
adding "-" to the "word characters" would be a big gain (to enjoy
auto-completion.)

I spent some time looking through rlwrap sources but has not find a
good place to do the changes.

Regards, Sergey.

Probably it can be done with Rlwrap filters, I have not tried it yet.

The shell script I use to start my Clojure REPLs includes this:

rlwrap --remember --complete-filenames \
--history-filename ~/.clojure/history \
--break-chars "\"\\'(){}[],^%$#@;:|" \
<java and its startup args here>

I'm sure it's imperfect, but works well enough for me.
