Actually, there was a significant regression. Many many years ago, Oracle decided to drop the support for the gpl-licensed readline altogether, likely because they can't ship it with MySQL Enterprise. To this day, Percona still carries a small patch to add that functionality back, which is great because I wouldn't touch any CLI without readline.

Dropping a link to `rlwrap` in case anyone is not familiar with it:

Note that I've never tried it myself with the mysql/mariadb CLI, but I have used it with other tools, and it's brilliant.
