How do I run an interpreter with command history support?

Question

I know there is a way to run an interactive console with command history support (even though the program does not inherently support it). However, I don't remember the command. Can anyone help me?

You are probably thinking of rlwrap – William Pursell Apr 10 '12 at 14:47 — William Pursell, Apr 10 '12 at 14:47

Install the package rlwrap and run it like

$ rlwrap foo

to get command line history for the command foo.
