What I want is exactly what is defined for A-M-r in ESS - Emacs Speaks
Statistics. That is, if I enter "attach(" at command-line and then
press some keys, I will get the last command in history which starts
with "attach(". Then I can edit it and press RETURN to execute it.

I remember I could do that a few years ago with S-mode on a Sun
Sparc machine, which had a special SUN keyboard.
