comint-interrupt-subjob also kills pending input

[Dan Jacobson]

[Emacs 21.2]
C-c C-c runs the command comint-interrupt-subjob

Interrupt the current subjob.
This command __also kills the pending input__
between the process-mark and point.

Oh great.  A bonus service with no ifs ands or variables to control
it.

So I had typed

$ du /var/cache/wwwoffle/ftp/longandpainfulline C-c C-c
and I end up with
$
$

I'm just not used to things i typed disappearing.  No choice about it
mentioned. OK, never mind. I'll use undo.

why can't you leave the top line alone and put me at a fresh prompt?
it's not like i'm making a session log for submission to court and
there must not be some entry that was actually run.  At least there
should be a variable to control this behavior.  Yes, bash may also do
this too, but script(1) would still have the chars if one ran it.  And
the reason we use *shell* is sort of like why one would run script(1)...
