It's not just that it's not within LuaJIT's mission; the licensing is
a bit of a problem -- readline is GPL. There are a couple different
wrappers you can use to give readline/linenoise functionality to the
LuaJIT interactive mode, which further makes it unnecessary to include
in the LuaJIT binary. Check out rlwrap or rlfe.
