What I wrote is accurate: "This is  pretty well baked in to how readline
operates." The history editing and undo list behavior is a fundamental part
of readline, and there isn't a way to completely disable it. The
`revert-all-at-newline' option is the way to undo its effects after the
fact, but that doesn't get invoked when you interrupt readline's processing
with SIGINT.
