This is excellent - makes working with the interpreter outside of Emacs
much easier.  It seems to me that it would be a lot more useful if the
readline port didn't disappear whenever the interpreter throws an error,
though:

>>> (current-input-port (make-gnu-readline-port "csi> "))
#<input port (gnu-readline)>
csi> (+ 1 1)
2
csi> (+ 1 #f)
Error: (+) bad argument type: #f
>>>  ; oops

I'm not quite sure why this happens.
