Although it is true that only the most recent HISTSIZE entries from
HISTFILE will remain in the interactive history when a new shell
starts, there are cases where a larger SAVEHIST makes sense, typically
if you are using INC_APPEND_HISTORY or SHARE_HISTORY.  For example,
SAVEHIST determines how often the file is rewritten.  Combined with
HIST_SAVE_NO_DUPS you might preserve some unique older entries when a
second shell is sharing the history.
