All LDAP-accessible directories that I use have been mostly stable for
the last month, so I have merely been doing casual queries with ldapsh.
Thus, my recollection of editing features and code patches is a little
hazy. From what I recall:

 * readline fixes -- essential.
 * cp operation -- fabulous.
 * other patches -- unused.

> Also, James, what are the patches you have?

 * honour $VISUAL and $EDITOR from environment.
 * easy search recall.
 * documentation modifications.
 * '.' expression syntax (e.g `ls .`, `cat .`) as shorthand
   for "the current DN".
 * cd/pushd more like sh.
 * can specify command-line perl instructions (handy for
   invoking the subroutine profiles that exist in rc files).
 * `add`, `replace`. `delete` as alternatives to `apply`.

I could do that next week or perhaps during the coming weekend.
I would love for you to look over them.
