For anyone interested in this, I Just submitted a pull request for it on github. It's been cleaned up and I added a customize option and fixed a few bugs that were in the version I sent out in email. https://github.com/slime/slime/pull/100
I'm interested in this feature; it's one of the things I missed when I switched from ELI to SLIME years ago. What is its status? I notice the discussion on github about last input vs. last matching input; as I recall, ELI could do both, I think there was a prefix argument for the latter.
About a year ago, this was complicated to implement in slime-repl which doesn't use much of Emacs' own comint.el. But I still find this feature interesting and I've implemented it in SLY as demonstrated in this 30 sec video:

I used Robert Goldman's description of the behaviour in https://github.com/slime/slime/pull/100. It also works with reverse i-search.
