Comment (by chrstphrchvz):

 Looking at [https://github.com/mysql/mysql-
 server/blob/mysql-8.0.27/cmake/readline.cmake#L191 CMake code in MySQL],
 it currently is only using its bundled libedit, and not picking up
 external libedit. Since the bundled libedit is slightly older than
 MacPorts’ libedit and only has [https://github.com/mysql/mysql-
 server/commit/53f90582fd54 a few bug fixes] patched onto it rather than
 any major MySQL-specific additions or modifications, I would consider
 switching to MacPorts’ libedit: this would involve adding `depends_lib-
 append port:libedit` and `configure.args-append -DWITH_EDITLINE=system`,
 but since `WITH_EDITLINE` does not accept a path, I would want to make
 sure this approach will only ever use MacPorts’ libedit.

 I am not a UNIX veteran, and don’t know the first thing about
 editline/readline (other than that it lets me use the arrow keys), so I
 would want the reporter or someone knowledgeable to confirm this approach
 helps.
