I was pretty sure it worked when I revamped the readline support[1], many years ago, but effectively I'm not able to do it now, and I find this https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/41 where Chet Ramey says it's something that bash injects into the library... and that it should be easy to implement by the calling application. So I guess my memory is faulty. ciao, lele.
