Looks reasonable to me, at least if I understand the intent correctly.
I've never used this functionality in bash (wasn't aware it existed).
I assume the intention here is to easily re-execute compound
statements pulled from saved history. Does your position in the
history disappear if you operate_and_get_next(), then modify the next
recalled input line? When you are finished with a series of Ctl-O
keystrokes I presume you (as the user) press Ctl-U or Ctl-K to clear
the input buffer?
