Description

the history command is cool but it would be nice to be able to use things like:

• !142 (run the command from the history with index 142)
• !os (run last command starting with "os")

=========================

See http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Event-Designators.html

=========================

with this patch, we can access history command list with
! indext
! commandPrefix
for example, history we get
345 osgi/list
then
"! 345" or "! os" we get "osgi/list" execute again

seems we have to add a whitespace between ! and the index number or commandPrefix, so the syntax is not exactly same as bash (which no whitespace between ! and index number)
