It appears that bash cannot bind ctrl-u either by using the "bind" command,
or by reading .inputrc at startup.

By default, readline binds the tty editing characters (erase, kill,
literal-next, word-erase) to their readline equivalents when it's called,
if they're bound to readline functions.  If they're bound to macros,
readline won't overwrite the bindings.  It doesn't do anything with the
`reprint' character (default ^R); there's never been demand for it.

Use the `bind-tty-special-characters' variable to enable or disable this
behavior.
