That would get rather messy given the existence of shared history and
of "print -s".

The widget version from my previous message saves only the $PREBUFFER
on abort.  If you've recalled a multi-line construct from history,
PREBUFFER will be empty.

Presently ^C ends up acting like 'e' because I haven't gotten around
to signal handling yet.

hist-no-exec() {
  print -s "$BUFFER"
  zle send-break
}
zle -N hist-no-exec

Unfortunately this doesn't prevent $PREBUFFER from being saved as its own entry.

I gathered that before, which is why the correct-all-words widget adds
the '!' response.

The other typical way to get this is to use the "nocorrect" precommand modifier.
