potentially misleading text in grub

I want to call your attention to potentially misleading information
that grub provides in the shell.  At the top it says something to the
effect of "BASH-like editing available".  While this can be correct,
it can also be erroneous.  The reason is that bash uses GNU readline
for it's input.  I have configured my readline to give vi-style
editing commands instead of (the default) emacs-style editing
commands.  I think it would be better if grub said it had "emacs-style
editing support" instead.  This is a minor nit, however, and not a
show-stopper.
