The readline module has obsolete code for platforms where GNU readline is older than 2.1 or where select() is not available.

According to https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/, GNU readline 2.1 was released in 1997... We could probably even require 5.0 (released in 2004), but it raises the question of which functions are supported by third-party emulations such as libedit.
