The C-c C-c at the end of the line should be a pretty clear indication that it wasn't actually sent. I don't see how people could fail to grasp this. Personally, I find that it's _usually_ the case that when I hit C-c C-c with unsent input, it's because I forgot to kill a program, and had started to type the next command, and then suddenly realized what was going on, and hit C-c C-c. Perhaps it should kill the input when the input follows a prompt but not otherwise. What do you think of that idea?
