I think what was rejected was showing it in the prompt like search does:

"Search [foo]: "

For execute it would look something like:

"Command to execute [from ./] [the last command here]: "

Leaving very little room to type a new command. What I suggest is switching to 
the last command as if it had been selected from history with the up arrow.

"Command to execute [from ./]: the last command here"

The down arrow would clear the prompt just as it does now. The search prompt 
could be changed to do the same thing, "Search: foo" instead of "Search [foo]: 
". Then both prompts would be uniform and no setting would be needed to toggle 
the feature for execute. Only problem is it would add an additional down arrow 
keystroke if you want to do a new search, so maybe only do it for execute 
prompt.
