Details:

I would expect that putting the --line-editing option after --no-line-editing
on the command line would work as if none of the two options were present.

However, this is not the case.  To test that, I run octave-cli inside a
*shell* Emacs buffer.  This is how to reproduce:

open a terminal with at least 90 columns (the more, the better)

emacs -Q -nw -f shell
octave -qi
1:40
quit

Note the point where the answer line wraps around, then try this

octave -qi --no-line-editing
1:40
quit
octave -qi --no-line-editing --line-editing
1:40
quit

Note that in the first case the output is wrapped at 80 columns, which is
expected, but this happens in the third case also, which is not expected.
