Do you mean implementing a bash-like history isearch
in comint/shell modes? I think it would be nice.
But maybe M-r is not the best key to start a shell history
isearch in the comint buffer. In the minibuffer M-r keeps
its old functionality, and C-s is used to isearch the
minibuffer history.
It seems we can't use C-s in the comint buffer to isearch the
shell history because searching in the output is useful as well.
Maybe we should let C-s to isearch the shell history from the M-r
minibuffer instead of the minibuffer history of the previous M-r input?
