Yes, I think this is just because the code was copied from the case
where the line is being set when the line editor starts.  In that case
popping the line gives you the history context around where you pushed
it.  get-line seems like it should just grab the string and keep the
current context.  But most of the times I use get-line it doesn't
actually matter, so I can't swear this is always right.
