I'm strongly against your proposal.

Well, it was my first patch to gnuplot ages ago, to remove the repeated 
commands from the stack. I was so upset in a long night experiment at the 
ESRF having to hit dozen of times up-arrow before the actual plotting 
command appeared, that I started hacking gnuplot...

I never used history to report what exactly I was doing. I need it to 
quickly go through the commands and have them available for editing, or with 
the "history" command to paste them via mouse.
