Would Bash be saving what the line looked like before it performed quote
removal with M-C-e, and replacing what's on the command-line with that when
this other readline function is invoked? All this talk of a quote-line
readline function doesn't make any sense if Bash doesn't know how you want
it to be quoted.

This seems so obvious that I must be missing something.
