Since the history library is explicitly line-oriented, and independent of
the shell, there hasn't been a clean way to inform it about any quoting
state the current line should inherit.
I added an experimental new state variable that will appear in
readline-8.0-beta that should allow applications to communicate this
state to the history library. We'll see how it works.
