This looks like it would work in Bash but would need to be re-written for each Readline-enabled program, is that right? And I don't think Python for example even has a way to programmatically set the point.

True : works only on bash and ipython. I don't know why ipython but I guess because it has been well written. I may improved that in the future wih only modifying .inputrc so it would work on perl reply for example.
