readline2
Node.js (v0.8 and v0.10) had some bugs and issues with the default Readline module.
This module include fixes seen in later version (0.11-0.12 and iojs) and ease some undesirable behavior one could see using the readline to create interatives prompts. This means readline2
change some behaviors and as so is not meant to be an exact drop-in replacement.
This project is extracted from the core of Inquirer.js interactive prompt interface to be available as a standalone module.
