Descripción
### Description
This RFC proposes adding reverse search support in the REPL. The basic idea is to enable entering a search mode in order to more efficiently cycle through previous commands. Currently, in order to run a previous command, one must hit the UP arrow key until finding the command. This RFC proposes enabling a mode where you can filter history to more quickly find a matching command.
This behavior is currently enabled in the built-in Node.js REPL and matches that found in ZSH.
For references better explaining the expected behavior, see below.

### Questions
- How would multi-line commands be handled?
