It doesn't really make sense to activate readline when running within
Emacs, as Emacs provides its own mechanisms for editing, recalling
previous commands, and so on. To activate readline only when it makes
sense, I recommend using the following code in your .guile:
(if (isatty? (current-input-port))
(begin
(use-modules (ice-9 readline))
(activate-readline)))
