It seems rather inconsistent to me to make the newest prompt read-only

So there are three options for old prompts:
1. Leave them read-only by virtue of a read-only text-property.
Any attempt to kill or delete any part of the entirety of
older prompts generates an error.
2. Leave them read-only by virtue of modification and
insert-in-front-hooks. Attempts to delete any part of the
prompts signals an error, but the entire prompt can be killed
without complaint.
3. Leave them read-write.
I believe there is one single important reason to make the latest
prompt read-only: it corresponds to the current command line. This
reason does not apply to old prompts.
I quite often want to edit or "clean up" comint application buffers.
Option 1 forces one to play around with inhibit-read-only to
accomplish this. Option 1 is currently implemented in ielm. It is
extremely inconvenient.
I prefer option 3. Option 2 might work too.
Sincerely,
Luc.
