Here's a patch adding what I've been talking about on top of your
patch. Note that gnus-icompleting-read ignores its HISTORY argument. I
haven't quite figured out how to do that, assuming iswitchb supports
some sort of history at all. However, it's already useful to me as is,
as I can make use of all my iswitchb customisations while only missing
out on a feature I don't particularly care about.
