?- el_bind(user_input, ['-a']).

The predicate el_bind/2 is typically used to bind commands defined using el_addfn/4. Note that the C proxy function has only the last character of the command as context to find the Prolog binding. This implies we cannot both bind e.g., "^[?" and "?" to a Prolog function.
