write a safety wrapper around readline

It would be nice to have a wrapper around the low-level readline functions, providing the same functions but with types in MonadIO m => MonadReadline m. The IO monad wouldn't be in this class, but ReadlineT would be, and a withReadline function would handle calling initialize etc for you as appropriate.
