Doc says:
The forms for ACTION are as follows.
(single unquoted space)
This is useful where an argument is required but it is not
possible or desirable to generate matches for it. The MESSAGE
will be displayed but no completions listed. Note that even
in this case the colon at the end of the MESSAGE is needed; it
may only be omitted when neither a MESSAGE nor an ACTION is
given.
That seems to imply that you can write "4:" or "4:history size: " but
not what you did write. Is the doc wrong?
