    <para>
     Sets up a readline callback interface then prints
     <parameter>prompt</parameter> and immediately returns. The
     <parameter>callback</parameter> function takes one parameter; the user
     input returned. Calling this function twice without removing the previous
     callback interface will automatically and conveniently overwrite the old
     interface.
    </para>
    <para>
     The callback feature is useful when combined with
     <function>stream_select</function> as it allows interleaving of IO and
     user input, unlike <function>readline</function>.
