Package: clojure
Version: 1.1.0+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Consider recommending (or suggesting) rlwrap instead, as jline has a rather
annoying line-corruption bug I discovered (see #576814) that limits its
usefulness, and rlwrap is more featureful.  Example invocation:
rlwrap java -cp /usr/share/java/clojure.jar clojure.main
Supports saved history, reverse-incremental-search, paren flashing, and I am told,
even tab-completion that can learn from the expressions you type ...  All
around a much more featureful solution as well as being less buggy.
