Then when I press 'v' to edit the command line in a text editor --
maybe 'bash' should insert such a line?  It's converted your command line
into an editable file.  But it hasn't put the #!/bin/bash at the front.

If that file is saved and run, it doesn't execute the same way as it does
interactively.

(note, I say the above someone tongue-in-cheek, but only to point
out that it's very easy to go from editing a command to a file and
if it becomes a file and 'bash' might not execute it the same way w/o the
header, maybe it should put a headerline in?
