=begin
Applications using readline library should automatically load either ~/.inputrc or /etc/inputrc, per the GNU Readline docs. This doesn't appear to be working Ruby's readline library.

To reproduce:

1. create ~/.inputrc with:
   set editing-mode vi
2. run ruby app using readline (irb, for example)
3. verify that vi commands do not work.

=begin
OS X uses editline with the readline compatibility layer, not GNU readline.

Unless you explicitly linked against GNU libreadline, ~/.inputrc will not be read.

=begin
Setting ~/.editrc to:

bind -v

Allows vi command line bindings to work on OS X
