Perhaps my option name needs to be } improved -- how about HIST_WRITE_IN_PLACE? That name seems a bit unwieldy, but I suppose one won't be typing it all that often. Appending to the history writes in place, too, though, doesn't it? Or at least incremental appending does? Maybe HIST_SAVE_BY_COPY, defaulting to on? Another random thought, far too late for its own good: HIST_SAVE_NO_DUPS default off should have been HIST_SAVE_DUPS default on, so as to avoid the double negative in NO_HIST_SAVE_NO_DUPS. Oh, well.
