Sure, particularly with Nick's suggestion for a default input hook it would be fine.

What's wrong with , ?

The fact that there is no upper bound to the number of cursor-up keystrokes needed here -- by "perform some action repeatedly" I don't mean "half a dozen times right after each other with nothing in-between" (sorry for the ambiguous phrasing), but "numerous times, repeatedly in the course of an interactive interpreter session".
