I'm OK with this, though I think the documentation should explain in more detail how it interacts with APPEND_HISTORY, INC_APPEND_HISTORY, and SHARE_HISTORY. Also, I know the "new" convention is to use a HIST_ prefix, but it would be nice to be consistent with APPEND_HISTORY et al. We already have HIST_APPEND; while we're at it, perhaps we add HIST_APPEND_INC, HIST_SHARE, and OVERWRITE_HISTORY with appropriate aliasing?
