      I don't think this is a readline vs. linenoise different...

      It would be nice to consider an entire query/command to be the history entry (instead of the lines of the query). For example consider this current output:

      > db.events.find(
      ... {timestamp: {$gte: new Date().getTime() - 10000000}}
      ... ).forEach(function(event)

      { ... print(e.timestamp); ... }

      ... )

      If after running that query you hit the up arrow the only thing in your history is:

      > db.events.find(

      It would be awesome if you could see the whole multi-line command and then be able to edit it in place.
