That's a completely different kettle of fish --- push-input is basically
a hack to try to convince the line editor we've left it so we can start
again.  But we can't start again without leaving the nested parsing of
$(.  I have no idea what to do here except document it as "don't do
that".  Maybe Bart understands the sequence for this better.
