This is also what csh does in this situation too. This type of
history substitution originated with csh and it would be the standard
against which other implementations would be compared.
$ csh
% echo one two three
one two three
% echo four five six
four five six
% !echo one
echo four five six one
four five six one
%
But I don't know the code history of this feature in bash.
