I've seen strange readline editing behavior when the editing doesn't start at the first column: I can actually backspace into the prepended message (with Del, Ctrl-W or Ctrl-U), and then the whole edit becomes messed up.
read can output a prompt on its own (hopefully in all versions of Bash that we aim to support - the tests will tell), and that doesn't have this problem, and it's also a bit cleaner and shorter.
The prompt is only displayed if input is coming from a terminal. For the tests (currently only deletion and move confirmations are covered), this means that the prompt itself cannot be covered, and an empty line instead has to be expected. (On the positive side, this removes the ugly trick with $SPACE.)

* Tests: Add coverage for del / move without -f, but with prompting
Supplying the user confirmation via "yes".
* Cosmetics: Align inconsistent spacing for before (y/n) prompt
* Refactoring: Extract confirm() function
The user confirmation query had been duplicated (once) in the code.
* Refactoring: confirm(): Leave early if forced
* Return from user prompt without requiring Enter
By just reading a single character (y for yes, anything else: no).
* Tests: Ensure that only a single "y" concludes the confirmation
By switching from "yes" (that endlessly prints newline-separated "y"s) to "printf y".
* t1800-del: Add coverage for negative confirmation
Negative means "anything but y", so "n", "x", and Enter all apply.
* Cosmetics: Add trailing space after (y/n) prompt
So that the user's typed answer is not recorded directly after it, but with separation: "Foo? (y/n) y" instead of "Foo? (y/n)y".
*Compatibility: "read -N 1" is only available in Bash 4.1+
Mac OS still ships with Bash 3.2 :-( Fall back to the original prompting that requires conclusion via Enter then.
Note: Even though the tests use "printf y", this still gets accepted, as there'll be EOF after that. In real use (when stdin from the terminal stays open), a concluding Enter is mandatory, though.
Closes#152
* Handle missing EOL in todo.txt
This can happen easily with certain editors (such as Mousepad) that do not automatically add a newline character at the end of a file.
In _addto(), ensure a trailing newline via sed (taken from https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/31955/18876).
Fixes#294
* Tests: Add basic coverage of move
* Handle missing EOL in todo.txt for move, too
This can happen easily with certain editors (such as Mousepad) that do not automatically add a newline character at the end of a file.
* Refactoring: Extract fixMissingEndOfLine()
* FIX: Compatibility: sed \+ multi not supported on MacOS
Use the POSIX \{1,\} instead.
