I'd like the ability to bind keys to a command line that generates text for
insertion on the current command line.  For example, I could then bind Ctrl-V
to "xclip -o" (with suitable checking of DISPLAY first).

This should possibly go in readline, rather than bash; feel free to reassign
if you agree.
