GNU bash, version 1.04.1

Kudos on the improved keybinding code in readline. Keymaps are now
generated as needed.  

Suggestions.  1) There is a stub in the code for an M-. command (grab the
last commponent of the previous line).  Is this going to be written?

2) How about a ksh-like C-J command.   What I want is the ability to
go back in the history, execute a command (by hitting C-J) and then
find my cursor at the next history item.  This makes redoing things
like for loops much easier.

Kudos and thanks,
--Mike
