This is actually a general feature of the GNU readline library, which a lot of programmes including bash use. For instance, a lot of REPLs like ghci use it.

As does my favorite underappreciated Unix CLI tool, units(1).

  $ units --verbose
  You have: 1 mile * 20 pounds force
  You want: joule
          1 mile * 20 pounds force = 143174.38 joule
          1 mile * 20 pounds force = (1 / 6.98449e-06) joule

For dumb terminals, you can also use rlwrap: https://linux.die.net/man/1/rlwrap
