I think this is a less burdensome requirement than the readline library, after all.
Why would it be? Bash absolutely requires readline (and includes a copy, but that's not relevent since you still need a readline-capable system).
What I meant is that using directly a readline function requires modifying the xmonad.cabal file (we used to do that). This is more burdensome for the user.
But otherwise you have a dependency on bash which can't be checked by Cabal. Note that e.g. the BSDs don't install bash by default. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
