M-! M-! makes quite a bit of sense, and avoids the problem someone else
mentioned about making it hard to use ! in a command. I could see
generalizing this: M-x M-x should recall the last extended command, M-:
M-: should recall the last eval-expression, etc.
This assumes you're typing the commands with a real Meta key, since it's
easier to keep your finger on it while you repeat the character. If
you're using an ESC prefix to emulate Meta, ESC ! ! would be more
intuitive, I think.
