Why don't we have something similar to vi modes to jump between different 'interpretations'? I believe scsh had something to that effect using chars to switch modes ala quote/unquote.
Maybe something based on Color Forth's ideas?

If you're going down that route then really you need a printable character to prefix the command line (or similar solution) For what it's worth though, most shells (including my own one) do support switching between different text entry / hotkey modes - such as vi - even if the syntax is consistent.
