Would Bash be saving what the line looked like before it performed quote

It already makes the shell expansions an undoable operation, I think that
would suffice. I'm not talking about changing the behavior of M-C-e, I'm
talking about adding a different function that you could use separately as
well.
and replacing what's on the command-line with that when
this other readline function is invoked? All this talk of a quote-line
readline function doesn't make any sense if Bash doesn't know how you want
it to be quoted.
There are other places (e.g., ${var@Q} where bash chooses the most
appropriate form of quoting. Why not here?
