If just rebinding DEL to abort when it hits the prompt would be enough,
then that seems like it might be a good idea (and could even be turned
on by default, probably). But I don't think this particular case
warrants any more effort than that, if making the current prompt
read-only would be simpler.
[People already think of the current prompt as something special (`it's
the current prompt!'), but tend to think of old prompts as simply being
part of the text of the session, not as something special.]
