With bash as well as the Python interactive shell:

    - ^R followed by a partial string to search
    - Hit ^R again to get the previous match, repeat as required
    - Hit ^A/^E to move the cursor to the beginning/end of the line,
      stopping the "search mode". This allows you to use arrow up/down
      from that point in the readline history.

capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
