thinking of completely changing my linux CLI history/input method, and instead literally just use an editor, comment all the lines extremely well, and use 'send line to terminal' to do my actual command input

in reply to @NireBryce's post:
of, I believe, ksh fame originally, but all shells have it because it's standard now; in many ways it misses the "prepare and plumb" bit but in many ways it hits the "edit a history hunk in $EDITOR" bit, so close enough for a shitpost too me
This is more or less how MPW worksheets worked. (BBEdit still has a variation on the feature today.)
A worksheet was a text document, but if you hit ⌘-return at the end of a line (or with a command selected, which was important if it had escaped line-breaks), MPW would run the command and insert its output into the document after it.
