Miscellaneous Functions
-----------------------

 - Function: int rl_macro_bind (const char *keyseq, const char *macro,
          Keymap map)
     Bind the key sequence KEYSEQ to invoke the macro MACRO.  The
     binding is performed in MAP.  When KEYSEQ is invoked, the MACRO
     will be inserted into the line.  This function is deprecated; use
     `rl_generic_bind()' instead.

 - Function: void rl_macro_dumper (int readable)
     Print the key sequences bound to macros and their values, using
     the current keymap, to `rl_outstream'.  If READABLE is non-zero,
     the list is formatted in such a way that it can be made part of an
     `inputrc' file and re-read.

 - Function: int rl_variable_bind (const char *variable, const char
          *value)
     Make the Readline variable VARIABLE have VALUE.  This behaves as
     if the readline command `set VARIABLE VALUE' had been executed in
     an `inputrc' file (Note: Readline Init File Syntax).

 - Function: void rl_variable_dumper (int readable)
     Print the readline variable names and their current values to
     `rl_outstream'.  If READABLE is non-zero, the list is formatted in
     such a way that it can be made part of an `inputrc' file and
     re-read.

 - Function: int rl_set_paren_blink_timeout (int u)
     Set the time interval (in microseconds) that Readline waits when
     showing a balancing character when `blink-matching-paren' has been
     enabled.

 - Function: char * rl_get_termcap (const char *cap)
     Retrieve the string value of the termcap capability CAP.  Readline
     fetches the termcap entry for the current terminal name and uses
     those capabilities to move around the screen line and perform other
     terminal-specific operations, like erasing a line.  Readline does
     not use all of a terminal's capabilities, and this function will
     return values for only those capabilities Readline uses.
