How would that work to avoid filling the prompt with the paste buffer
when I fat finger and paste a whole email to the prompt? It will just
slow down the process, but not cancel it.

What I understand that's being proposed is a feature available in
some IRC clients, where the client prompts you if it detects that
you're inputting more than 2 lines in a short period.

This variable with a really long name would invalidate a sequence of
commands if the commands are input in rapid succesion (as when input
through pasting).
