Remember that the buffer is only one level deep, though. A subsequent ^W,
^K , etc will clobber the previous contents.
Along lines of Stephan Beals method, I use ":" preceding the fossil
command. So:
$ : fossil ci -m 'some msg'
("$" is shell prompt).
":" is a command that consumes it's arguments and returns true.
