As an emacs user this is quite a pleasing news.

    Import-Module PSReadLine
    Set-PSReadlineOption -EditMode Emacs

Mnyeah, dunno. I tried the Vi mode, but right off the bat I missed the ability to hit ESC to clear the current input. So much easier than doing ^d$

I don't know about Emacs bindings, but I've tried vim bindings in all sorts of things outside vim, browsers, IDEs, other editors... somehow they never made sense outside of vim.

Awesome nugget of info! Does this work in v5?

I believe so, the PSReadLine module has been included in PS since v3 IIRC
