About a year ago, this was complicated to implement in slime-repl which
doesn't use much of Emacs' own comint.el. But I still find this feature
interesting and I've implemented it in SLY as demonstrated in this 30

I used Robert Goldman's description of the behaviour in
https://github.com/slime/slime/pull/100. It also works with reverse
i-search.
