What's wrong with hitting the up arrow or `C-p' to retrieve
previous `grep' command input? If you want an earlier one
and don't want to cycle to it, use `M-r'. As usual.
You can also use `C-x ESC ESC' to repeat previous commands,
editing the command as needed. As usual.
Nothing new here. I don't see what wishlist feature you're
looking for. Command `grep' already has a minibuffer history.
And `M-x' already has a command history. What's the problem?
