Selective history search with arrow keys

[Keith Goodman]

Is there a clean and simple way for octave to automatically configure
readline (without changing the behavior of readline outside of octave)
so that the up and down arrows search through history for matches to
the characters already on the command line?

If so, I think it would be a great addition to octave.
