It has been pointed out to me that this is incorrect and misleading; bash does not use its shell language parser to reload the history, which if I had thought for half a moment is obvious because bash uses the readline library. I was trying to make an analogy to emphasize that bash history is typically formatted as directly-executable shell commands whereas zsh history is frequently not so, and I botched it. Sorry.
