I would prefer to change libedit so that it doesn't incur this startup
cost when not actually used. That way all programs with
non-interactive mode benefit, which includes e.g. python.

I also dislike programs having special dlopen() hacks, especially
since the versioning can be easily done wrong, and it's no longer
visible it's used by the program via ldd.

IMO 2% speedup is not worth this.

What exactly does take libedit do to take it so long? Does it trigger
loading locales?
