Sorry, I was playing around looking at what to implement, and this was the
last attempt I did. I then forgot it was still in the source when I came
back and produced pws-20, so this is a mistake. Here's a patch against how
it appears in pws-20, putting it the way we decided; this will fail against
all previous versions. Seems to me it's pretty hard to find the default
option settings in the manual, but I defied convention by mentioning them
here.
One subtlety I hadn't noticed: unsetting rcs (or setting norcs) causes the
history file not to be saved. This has always been the case, but it's
something else to think about if you start playing around with rcs in your
own initialisation files, so I noted it in the manual entry.
