[gnu.bash.bug] ksh style history

How do I make bash emulate the ksh 'r' history mechanism?

The histchars variable description sounds like it would grab any r not
just if it is the first character on the line.

bash has saved me from the dreaded csh but it still uses !'s.

In ksh r is the builtin alias is r='fc -e -'
