Really?  I can see that 'line at a time' parsing would be a desired 
thing. But if
I can avoid the occasional problem by returning to a fresh prompt, it would
seem possible to have the same functionality via some other mechanism.
Mind, everything up to a sem has to be syntactically complete of course,
so none of the mayhem we were talking about a while back.
OTOH since this is the first time I've ever seen any issue of this sort,
I can quite understand that there's not much call for it.  In my case it
would simply let me get more done with a single recallable line like I first
showed.

I've heard of that and I'm afraid to even think about what it does. Anyway,
these are good cautions about aliases.
