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.

The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
