You might still think about different names to distinguish
offset-from-base numbering and event designator numbering. Or even put
the current-position related funcs all into the "Moving Around" section.
Incidentally, I wondered if the the docs of add_history() might note
something like
If the history_max_entries stifling limit is exceeded then the
oldest entry is removed.
When history_stifle() says "remembering only the last MAX entries" I
wasn't quite sure if that meant a once-off truncate or a limit enforced
from then on. (The answer being both, if I'm not mistaken :-)
