That is an interesting idea, but I think it would be a pain unless
there is a convenient, easy way to move between those two parts of the
minibuffer.
Any ideas for how to do that?
One idea that occurs to me is to define two special movement commands
and bind M-{ and M-} to them. It is unusual for the FROM and TO
strings to contain multiple paragraphs, so the standard bindings of
those two keys won't be much missed.
