I agree. However, this can be done as it is now in iplib.py
"interact_with_readline" method (which, admittedly, is not excercised
in current code but mostly server as proof that ipython can be easily
decoupled from raw_input.

I agree with you here. All the direct references to readline should
factored out of the logic-running classes.

This should be easy. test_completer.py introduces how to "hack" your
way aroud the lack of API (so far).
