 *   readline will read a line from the terminal and return it, using
 *   prompt as a prompt.  If prompt is NULL or the empty string, no prompt
 *   is issued.  The line returned is allocated with malloc(3);
 *   the caller must free it when finished.  The line re‐turned has the
 *   final newline removed, so only the text of the line remains.
