Many people access `previous-history-element' in the minibuffer through
the up arrow, so I hope it is not commandeered for this purpose. Instead,
what about entering the mode from the minibuffer via C-f and right arrow,
but only when the point is at the minibuffer's point-max (i.e. when
`forward-char' would currently complain "End of buffer")? Besides being
less disruptive for users than changing the behavior of <Up>, using
C-f/<right> for this purpose has the mnemonic benefit of suggesting
"go beyond what I've typed". WDYT?
