[Proposal] Add recall to IEX

[Razi Shaban]

Hi,

Certain terminals allow you to : "up" -> retrieve the last-run command, "up again" the one before, etc. 

A convenience feature that may not be necessary but is sometimes satisfying. 

thank you,

Razi

Iex history is controlled through the Erlang shell configuration:

export ERL_AFLAGS="-kernel shell_history enabled shell_history_file_bytes 5242880"

in your shell initialization will produce the expected results with readline support.

This is already the default on Windows.

My version is:

Erlang/OTP 26 [erts-14.1.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:1] [jit:ns]
Interactive Elixir (1.15.7) - press Ctrl+C to exit (type h() ENTER for help)

and it already does this by default.

Best regards,

Robert

I do find it convenient and would second any suggestion to make this the default on all platforms for new installations.

Apparently it is working, now ... is this some sort of LiveUpdate? Somehow it wasn't live before, but now it is acting as expected. Bizarre.
