rlwrap for the Curl shell

It is really essential to get a wrapper around some REPL's - the Curl shell is an example.

I run
rlwrap /opt/curl/surge/8/bin/curl --shell
which gives sane keystrokes and a command history.  If you are a client web developer coming over to the server-side, it is as essential a tool as egrep.
