Hello, Trying to use history modifier 'h [ digit ]' (the following also applies to 't [digit ]'),where digit is a scalar or integer, ( e.g. ${PWD:h${N}} ) to step through a path via a loop, but this doesn't appear to be allowed. Tried multiple ways of doing this including quoting. This seems like a logical use of a parameter, but 'my' logic, sometimes, doesn't match reality. Is there a way of doing this or is this just not possible. If not could someone tell me why, I would like to understand what I'm missing here. The man page, AFAICT, doesn't say one way or the other if this is possible. Unless, "digit" is explicit here. FYI, I did come up with an alternative method by using an array and split.
