I would add a sentence to the first paragraph of the readline doc:
Readline keybindings may be configured via an initialization file,
typically .inputrc in your home directory; see
http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/readline.html#SEC9 (or
http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Readline-Init-File.html) for
information about the format and allowable constructs of that file and the
capabilities of the readline library in general.
I did a few quick tests and convinced myself that the module's C code's call to
rl_initialize actually reads .inputrc (or the value of the environment variable
INPUTRC if that is set).
