Note that you have to hit enter *twice* for this to work. (I'm not
sure why; the caret is supposed to escape the newline, but that
doesn't explain this. For all I know, it could be an ascended bug[1].)
Also, if you want to indent a subsequent line, you'll (obviously) have
to quote it (at least, if you use spaces; I don't know of a way to
insert a tab character), so this gets ugly REAL fast for conditionals:

C:\Python33>python -c "if True:"^
More?
More? " print(1)"^
More?
More? else":"^
More?
More? " print(2)"
1

Makes bash look pretty awesome!
