The interface should provide

=={{header|Phix}}==
The phix interpreter has a readline interface, however the code involved is far too much to replicate here
(see p.exw, processCommandLine() which opens p.ini and populates default_commandlines, then invokes gets0()
from pgets0.ew with keyHandler() as a callback. Currently only tested/working on Windows, not linux.)
There are no "application specific commands", however you could init default_commandlines with some.
 
While the lack of code may disappoint, I think this is a closer match to the task intention than most.
 
A snapshot of running the interpreter: first I pressed ?, then F7, then "ed": keying "e" did little,
but "ed" auto-completed the "ix" part as that was then the only match.

Racket's has a readline interface which is not used by default due to its license. This includes the usual readline-style editing, and tab-completion for Racket bindings. It is possible to use it as a library, or as a REPL convenience (both uses described [http://docs.racket-lang.org/readline/ in the documentation]) -- but it is better to use [http://docs.racket-lang.org/xrepl/ xrepl] which provides an enhanced command-line REPL and includes the readline interaction.

(formerly Perl 6)
 
Raku has a built in REPL that can be initiated by running the Raku executable without any parameters. It is fairly basic on its own but here are bindings available in the Raku ecosystem for [https://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html GNU Readline] and/or [https://github.com/antirez/linenoise Linenoise] either of which will automatically provide command history, tab completion and more advance command line editing capability if installed. They are not included in the Raku distribution directly. There are incompatible licensing requirements and providing hooks for third party tools allows for more customization options.
help. = ' No help is available for the' yyy "command."
help.cal = 'shows a calendar for the current month or specified month.'
help.kedit = 'KEDITs the file specified.'
help.lll = 'shows a formatted listing of files in the current directory.'
help.prompt= 'sets the PROMPT message to the specified text.'
help.quit = 'quits (exits) this program.'
help.redo = 're-does the command # specified (or the last command).'
help.rexx = 'executes the REXX program specified.'
 
Linenoise is generally the preferred option unless you really want the emacs compatible command line editing key bindings. Readline is arguably more powerful but is somewhat fiddly to set up.

If you are not inclined to install Readline ''or'' Linenoise, the REPL also works fairly well with 3rd party tools like rlwrap.
