You can rebind it, you know. Anyway, let's assume the existence of a new
bindable command that (shell) quotes the (shell? readline?) words on a
line. Let's assume that this new command is bound to some sequence like
\C-xq. Then you can use a macro to create something like what you want:

"\M-\C-w":"\M-\C-e\C-xq"

with each command being separately undoable.
