it's rather large.

Instead of ^C, bash could realize the user wishes to remove a mistyped
newline, and put the previous line on the screen with the cursor now
on the end, where he could continue editing.

User types m = ' o o o RET
Cursor is on X:
$ m='ooo
> X
User hits DEL, screen now looks like
$ m='oooX

If he were to hit ^C, he would potentially lose ... nothing if he
typed ^C^R, ok never mind... but still...
