@Chet:

Is there a way to optionally turn off the verbose option for traps when
running 'fc'? Toggling the verbose option from the command line only
makes things more verbose for me (it echoes $PROMPT_COMMAND).

For me, the desirable behavior would be for the default to inherit the
behavior from outside the 'fc' command, with the exception that the
actual lines being executed by 'fc' be always echoed.
