+// Simple implementation of the Python readline module using libedit.
+// In the event that libedit is excluded from the build, this turns
+// back into a null implementation that blocks the module from pulling
+// in the GNU readline shared lib, which causes linkage confusion when
+// both readline and libedit's readline compatibility symbols collide.
+//
+// Currently it only installs a PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer, without
+// implementing any of the readline module methods. This is meant to
+// work around LLVM pr18841 to avoid seg faults in the stock Python
+// readline.so linked against GNU readline.
+//
+// Bug on the cpython side: https://bugs.python.org/issue38634
