But this has the effect to duplicate the line in the terminal.
For instance:

zira:~> echo foo                                                      <16:29:05
zira:~> echo foo                                                      <16:29:09
foo

When searching the man pages, I could find only one place where
such a built-in is used: in the example for recursive-edit.
