Follow-up Comment #10:

Yes, it is a good idea to allow the user's ~/.inputrc to override Octave's
default inputrc. I have been doing that in my own ~/.octaverc for years. And
bug #49323 was about the opposite undesirable behavior, that Octave's inputrc
was overriding only portions of the user's preferred ~/.inputrc. Octave is now
doing the correct thing, loadings its own default settings first, and then
loading the user's preferred readline configuration.

We can leave this bug open to discuss where and how this should be documented
better.
