Re: rewriting history

Oh yes, that was my first contribution to gnuplot! In 90's, long 
synchrotron experiments, and gnuplot history with one "plot ...",
one "set log y", one "set nolog" a 50x "replot".

It's already there exactly for the purpose you mention:
 	history quiet
see "help history".

There is no option to switch "history" between "compact" and "full" recording. 
That could be probably added...
