Enhancement Request: Provide something like Emacs comint-get-next-from-history in Bash |

Hi.
To re-do previous command sequences from the history Bash provides
operate-and-get-next (bound to C-o). So to re-do a sequence A B C of commands
I need to navigate to A in the history and then enter
A C-o (=> B) C-o (=> C) RET
However, that requires the decision to re-do a sequence (and not only a single
command) *BEFORE* the first command of the sequence is re-done. However, to me
it happens quite frequently that I navigate to A, hit RET as usual and only
then remember that I would have better hit C-o instead of RET.
Emacs' function comint-get-next-from-history (bound to C-c C-x) uses a
different approach: Here you navigate to A, press RET as usal, and press C-c
C-x to get B and later C:
A RET C-c C-x (=> B) RET C-c C-x (=> C) RET
While these are more keystrokes, I find it more intuitive and flexible since I
can decide *AFTER* having issued command A how to go on.
I'm not sure whether something like that would be technically possible in Bash.
I'd definitely like something like that.
Thanks and regards
Jens
