<para>
Sets up a readline callback interface then prints
<parameter>prompt</parameter> and immediately returns. The
<parameter>callback</parameter> function takes one parameter; the user
input returned. Calling this function twice without removing the previous
callback interface will automatically and conveniently overwrite the old
interface.
</para>
<para>
The callback feature is useful when combined with
<function>stream_select</function> as it allows interleaving of IO and
user input, unlike <function>readline</function>.
