That would be difficult (making it work right). We've got a reader
(lisp function) sitting between the process and the command line which
can handle that case in an interactive setting, but we'd have to
redirect the eval-region commands also, which while it could be done,
(i.e. conversion of strings/commands to different ones), might be
slower.
