[ESS] history and completion problems

[A.J. Rossini]

We could probably craft an intercept for ! and !! to do that.  No
promises until someone writes code.

With respect to the minibuffer, that is trickier, since it's
modal-free, usually.
Which commands are you referring to?  dump, or help, or?  (help can be
faked by using ?, but dump would be a bit of a challenge, though one
could also imagine an intercept for that one as well).
