History prefix matching

If I have a history log that looks something like this:

install some-package
install other-package
remove some-package

If I type install and press Up, it will suggest remove some-package as it's the most recently entered command, but I think it would be much more helpful if it suggested install other-package (the first command that matches the prefix).

Would a decent implementation of this be accepted? And would it be acceptable to change the default behaviour to this, or would you want it behind a Config flag?
