If Eli will agree to an option, then after changing in goto-history-element
from (<= (point) prompt-end) to (< (point) prompt-end), please also change
in next-line-or-history-element from (> (point) prompt-end) to
(>= (point) prompt-end) and in previous-line-or-history-element
from (> (point) prompt-end) to (>= (point) prompt-end)
depending on that option.
