fish snippet: improved “i was lucky” fish function

now the function will use the last search within the last 20 executed commands.

function iwaslucky
    set search (for i in (seq 20); echo $history[$i]; end | grep "^mlocate\|^grep -rl")[1]
    echo iwaslucky: using \"$search\"
    open (eval (echo $search))[1]
end

where could this improve? the script could adjust the history range if no searches were found when it tried to detect them. it could allow a more flexible use of grep. it could try to use the last search that indeed returned results.

maybe some other day.
