Commit a583fe723 ("commandline -f foo" to skip queue and execute immediately,
2024-04-08) fixed the execution order of some bindings but was partially
backed out in 5ba21cd29 (Send repaint requests through the input queue again,
2024-04-19) because repainting outside toplevel yields surprising results
(wrong $status etc).
Transient prompts wants to first repaint and then execute some more readline
commands, all within a single binding. This was broken by the second commit
because that one defers the repaint until after the binding has finished.
Work around this problem by deferring input events again while a readline
event was queued. This is closest to the historical behavior.
The implementation feels hacky; we might find odd situations.
For example,
commandline -f repaint end-of-line
set token (commandline -t)
sets the wrong token.
Probably not a very important case. We could throw an error or make it work
by letting "commandline -t" drain the input queue.
That seems too complicated, better change repaints to not use the input queue
(and fake $status etc). Let's try to do that in future.
Closes#10492
