So, what I was thinking about was something to put a command on
multiple lines not in an interactive shell, but in a script:
my_command_with_many arguments \
argument_1 \
argument_2 \ # a comment about this

Ok, so for me the main advantage of a right prompt is not only for the
long commands, but mainly for the fact that on the left side my prompt
is of *fixed size* and everything is well aligned : so it's mostly a
clarity issue :)
Have a good time hacking on fish ! :-) (and next being defaut on
$your_favorite_distribution and next world domination)
Concerning myself I am still jungling between fish and zsh (mainly
because the second still has better completions of the second for git,
configure, make etc) but now it's definitively harder to live without
fish syntax coloring, simple and well done history search, completions
without messing with an infinite config file...
