Wait. Did hitting just enter work in the past? Because I tested this before I made this commit and at least on my machine, hitting enter just presented the prompt again. So I retained that behavior.

I looked over the Term::ReadLine code and I don't see how just hitting return ever worked. But if you tell me it did, I believe that and I can restore that behavior.

Out of curiosity, what is your OS and version, perl version, and what does does perl -e 'use Term::ReadLine; print "$Term::ReadLine::VERSION\n"' return?

Thanks,
j.
