Note that Ctrl-C has side effects. In particular, it will bring
you back at the end of the history, making operate-and-get-next
fail on the get-next part.
And in readline-based applications, Ctrl-C may do more than
clearing the current line.
The main thing I'm asking is that Ctrl-U should easily be
configurable in the .inputrc file without any drawback.
And the default readline settings should follow good logic.
