This timeout makes me think about the type of scenario where I know I have mistyped the command, e.g. because I accidentally hit return prematurely, or hit return when I was trying to backspace away a typo. In those situations I reflexively follow return with an immediate ctrl-C, and might be able to get in before the 100 ms timeout. So it’s not entirely useless!
