No. Readline will bind a few of the special tty characters to their
readline equivalents (controlled by the `bind-tty-special-chars' variable),
but the EOF character is not one of them.
What it does is to save the EOF character -- unless it's been disabled --
and special-case it as the first character read on an otherwise empty
line. It defaults that character to ^D, which remains the default if the
stty eof character is disabled.
