I've found https://groups.google.com/d/topic/gnu.bash.bug/_oG51FIMDE0/discussion
which suggests disabling [set -v] during the e-a-e-c but AFAICT doesn't talk
about the DEBUG trap. Or are you saying that e-a-e-c is implemented using DEBUG?

ISTM that yes set -v should be disabled during execution of the DEBUG trap.
Separately, I've also never appreciated the echoing that happens post-e-a-e-c,
but I do appreciate the echoing that !foo does when executing the last command
with a prefix of "foo", so I guess I don't have a principled stand to take on
that front :)
