If I try out a prompt, I like to execute some commands and see how that
affects the prompt, and with "prompt -p" that's not possible. So with
the current setup, I have to be careful which prompt variables are
changed, and then revert the changes. In principle, this is no big deal
but it would be nicer if there was an automatic solution.

I like both ideas.
