I declined to apply this patch because, as you observe, it uses private
readline APIs. Bash doesn't do that. Nor did I think it was the right
approach to the problem.

I'm not convinced.

I appreciate the reminder, though. This was still on my list of issues
to look at, so I took a look.

It takes maybe a dozen lines of code, and no modifications to readline,
to solve the problem with `bind -r'. There are a couple of other remaining
issues, but that one was easy.
