Thanks :)


Speaking of feature-requests and history...

There is the lithist thingy, to preserve newlines in commands which I'd
quite like.
But it doesn't work obviously when [re-]storing [from/]to the history
file.

Would it be possible to have e.g. another option, so that things work
like lithist=on for the session history, but like lithist=of (i.e. ";"
added where possible) when storing to the history file?


Cheers,
Chris.
