- fix weird autocompletion bug which won't let you enter the letter b [0]
- make set params, api and secret key vars lowercase
- use partition to get strings for do_set
- while installing, check and only then add readline (requires gcc and can fail)
- show monkey prompt by default, let users change if needed
