OK... for starters this has nothing to do with 'isearch'.

To see what I mean type C-r in a bash console and start typing a previous
command.

Basically this interactively fills in the last command if it starts matching
what you type.

I really love this feature in bash and want to bring it to Emacs.

Specifically what you would see would be

M-x repeate-complex-command-interactively

then...

repeate-complex-command-interactively: (jde-ant-build "/usr/com/build.xml" 
"test" nil)
pattern: jde-ant-b

In the above example the user just typed 'jde-ant-b' and
`repeate-complex-command-interactively' went over the command history and
pulled out 

(jde-ant-build "/usr/com/build.xml" "test" nil)

Thoughts?
