Potential disadvantage, depending on implementation:

The loss of distinctiveness.  Right now, when one sees a $<linenoise>
variable, they notice its specialness and have a visual clue to take
care.  $<linenoise> stands out, and as some of these variables have
wide-reaching side-effects, it might be worth it to try and maintain
this distinctiveness.
