No - its a bad joke.

Control-W will delete the previous word on the prompt. I'm suggesting the python script is
doing some real work - when it reality its a glorified copy-and-paste.

I'll move this patch later in the series so it can be easily squashed into the move -
there is no need to preserve this kind of history.


Thanks!
