There could be multiple such blocks in the script. And it may not be
bash, but something else (fish, csh, posh, etc). Finding ways to do the
wrapping for all the shell flavours will be maintenance hell.

So, I'd prefer comint-based solution.
Such solution may also benefit other comint uses beyond this specific
issue with Org.
