I spoke too soon. The comint-previous-matching-input-from-input, only
searches back from what's on the beginning of the line.

so if I have a print of a strange variable name, with the comint way I have
to start the line with
IDL> print, beg[up]

and that will get substitued with
IDL> print, beginning_of_a_stupidly_long_variable_name

with jds-history-search-up I only need the beg[up]

IDL> beg[up]

Just a note. :)
