There is another problem with ‘comint-history-isearch-backward’:
when it is called at the end of an “*Async Shell Command*” buffer
it should not activate comint-history isearch, only a normal isearch
should be started.  I tried different approaches, but only workable
solution is to check whether the shell prompt is empty as it is
in all “*Async Shell Command*” buffers:
