What about history? Emacs' comint mode keeps quite a small history by
default and also doesn't save the history in a file, many Readline
programs do offer this.
If one used a quoting convention as you suggested then only one or two
commands would be necessary.
A quoting convention would be quite neat... but the trouble is it's
difficult to choose a quote.
So I was proposing a completly new way of communicating with
Readline.
But maybe I should look again at a quoting convention.
