Well, it affects paredit mode in REPL buffer. Paredit automagically
inserts ')' after you type '('. So if you typed '(lo' you will have
'(lo)' at your REPL prompt with point before the closing paren and
when you press M-p to find previous '(loop ...)' expression you typed
before, nothing will be found unless the portion between start of
input and point is used, unless of course you typed exactly '(lo)'
before.
