nice, but... I'd written something like this (as a program you pipe to, not autocomplete) before, but when there's an error, I try to show the error then the last-good-output. The reason for this is that when you're typing a complex command you want to have the json visible to guide your thinking, just displaying the error hides it.

The way I did this was to store both the last working query and the last working output, I'd only reuse it if the last working query was a prefix of the current query - that avoids the awkward case where you are deleting letters from the output, so you need an output further back in history (which I didn't store, wasn't worth the hassle)

Feature request?
