Bash-Scripting: any way to pre-initialize readline's edit buffer with a user-defined string?

I don't believe that you can do that with readline, but I may be
wrong.  I know that you can do it with ZShell.  If you're interested,
try installing the zsh package and doing 'man zshzle' and 'man
zshbuiltins' - look up "print -z" in particular.

And, either way, it's OT for this list.
