Incidentally, come from in an interactive session would have to
predict future inputs, eg.

king:~/a/tmp> echo 1
1
king:~/a/tmp> d:
king:~/a/tmp> echo 1
1
king:~/a/tmp> e:
comefrom? echo 2
comefrom? comefrom e
king:~/a/tmp> echo 3
3
king:~/a/tmp>

This could come useful: before I do some dangerous operation, I type a
label name, and if I make a mistake, I can undo it by coming from that
label.  Now I'd like a shell with come from more than ever.
