Thanks. Note that it is not clear in the man page whether the
least recent starts at 0 or at 1. And when -r is used, whether
one should use <most recent> <least recent> or the reverse.

And how can one cleanly append history lines to a history file?
I was using "cat some_file >> ~/.zhistory", which seems to work,
but I suppose that there may be clashes if zsh thinks that some
lines are already metafied. I can't see a way to do this, and
perhaps there should be a new feature.
