I don't think that's a good idea -- the standard binding for C-p is
useful even in minibuffers. I often enter multi-line expressions by
hitting ', pasting a big string from some other location and editing it
(e.g., I can enter vectors from my C app by pasting from gdb and
replacing the gdb goop with calc goop) before hitting RET.
