I've no strong opinions on historysize other than using "-1" as special meaning.  It probably is easy from the parser's standpoint, but I don't like when negative numbers have special meaning.  The data file "using" format is like this; 0 means point, -1 means line number, -2 means index number.  I find that not user friendly.  How do others feel?

I'd suggest "unlimited", "infinity", "infinite" rather than -1.
