I think that having different meanings for C-p/C-n and M-p/M-n would
give a richer user interface, also in bash, because it would allow, on
one hand to browse the command history (with M-p/M-n) while at the
same time move vertically within a single multiline command (with
C-p/C-n). Just like in Emacs. IMO that would be TRT.
