Bash preserves multi-line shell commands within a single shell session too
when its shopt option `cmdhist' is set.
There is also the option `lithist' that replaces newlines with semicolon
separators. But it doesn't help because it doesn't replace newlines
inside command line arguments.
So I see no way to save multi-line shell commands in ~/.bash_history
in a way compatible with Bash. Do you have any ideas?
