That sounds entirely reasonable to me. I'll add it to my list.

Doesn't this request just amount to asking for the default value of
eshell-save-history-on-exit to be changed from 'ask to t?

I'm pretty sure it does. Feel free to make the change if you'd like.
For me, opening up the file and making the change is not something I
do while reading e-mail, which is why my first action each day is to
turn every request e-mail into a list of "things to be done". :)

Thanks for maintaining Eshell. One thing: When Eshell is running,
and someone quits Emacs, then Eshell asks them, "Save input history
for Eshell buffer `*eshell*'? (y or n)" Please change Eshell so that
it does not ask them. The prompt is somewhat annoying. Just like
Bash saves the history without asking, so too Eshell should save the
history without asking.
