Neat.  Though I've become a bit attached to eshell's current method of
completion :p

Basically, I don't want eshell-previous-matching-input-from-input[1] to
loop; if it's reached the end of the list, simply stop instead of
starting over from the beginning.  Not only am I used to this behavior
in other shells, I'm used to this behavior in Emacs!
