A reasonable point.

It does a push-line so that the run-help function can retrieve it with
getln. See workers/49218
If there's no line pushed, the run-help function is going to push a
blank one (with print -z) immediately after getln fails, so there's
several things that need to (not) happen if the widget is not used.
