Yep.

The problem with that is that C-s (and C-r) already have bindings in
comint modes, and changing them would not be liked by most users.
Doing M-r and then C-s/C-r seems a bit cumbersome.
IMHO just using M-r for incremental history search will provide no
surprises for the user, and it seems like a natural extension of the
current behavior.
