If so, why? As I explained in the thread [1]: 1. If HISTFILE is changed in the example, SAVEHIST doesn't need to change. 2. If HISTFILE is removed in the example, SAVEHIST doesn't need to change. 3. If HISTFILE is removed from the example and the default is changed, SAVEHIST doesn't need to change. 4. It lessens the cognitive burden of the user so he/she doesn't have to specify a value that comes from something that a) can change in the example, b) can change in the defaults, and c) can change in the user's own configuration. And it is even more clear in the next patch, where HISTFILE is increased and removed from the example. [1] https://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2022/msg00910.html -- Felipe Contreras
