Topic: php-readline for remi repos?

Please can we have php-readline in the Remi repo to match Remi's PHP 5.x.x ?

The php-readline from CentOS is an older version - 5.1.6

Using the php-readline package allows one to use PHP from the command line interactively, similar to a BASIC interpreter.

This allows one to test several lines of complex PHP scripting,in near real time. Really handy for working out the preg_xxx functions.

Thanks!
