That would work.  So where it currently prints 'Beginning of buffer' it
would instead go to the previous item in the history.  But where C-p
currently does something, its behaviour would not change.

You are right that the minibuffer can contain multiple lines just because
the filename is long enough.  I was still thinking in terms of the old days
when next-line went to the next logical line, not the next physical line
on screen.
