Take a look at the bug-bash thread containing
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2012-01/msg00094.html .
That describes the addition of an inter-character timeout to readline for
use in other contexts where it reads multi-character key sequences. I
see no reason it won't work here also. If the timeout variable is set,
it's used; if it's not, the current behavior is preserved.
