enhancement: PROMPT_COMMAND_AFTER

 Hi,

  I have no idea where to post enhacement suggestions, so please feel
free to redirect me / repost to the correct place.

  I think it would also be quite useful to have a counterpart to
PROMPT_COMMAND, e.g. PROMPT_COMMAND_AFTER, which would be executed
every time an interactive command line would be read in and accepted for
launch. One could put in there e.g. :
 o echo the current time, so we know when did this command start
 o set the xterm's title to first 30 chars of the cmd line, so we know
what is this window running (have you ever had 30 xterms on your
desktop, having hard time finding the one running "top" for you ?!)
 o etc.

 What do you think ?

  Is there currently another way to accomplish this ? (run a cmd before
the new cmdline is launched)

   Thanks,

      John
