Nonsense. The support is there for the `fc' command, all you have to do
is define the alias r as `fc -s' or `fc -e -'. That's how it's done in
ksh, with the exception that ksh pre-defines the alias.

Nonsense again. Readline, the bash line editing library, has support for
arbitrary key bindings. Simply bind some other key to "unix-line-discard"
and bind ^U to whatever you like. In any case, readline will pick up your
kill character from the tty driver and bind that to unix-line-discard for
you.
