I don't feel very strongly about it, but I tend to agree with Noah on
this one: read-only properties are often annoying and should be used
*very* sparingly. It's better to make sure people don't end up erasing
the text by mistake, then let them try to do it and then burp.

I don't know about you, but when I do C-a C-k in Emacs-21's *shell*
buffer, I don't end up erasing the prompt. Maybe you haven't
noticed the `field' property introduced with Emacs-21 because
you have C-a set to comint-bol ?
