`read-from-minibuffer' already has too many arguments, and I think adding
a new very specific argument (used for a special history handling just in
one specific place in Emacs) to this general function was not a good thing.
I'm trying to find a better replacement for KEEP-ALL. There are currently
two alternative variants of keeping empty and duplicate elements
in the history:
1. Instead of using the KEEP-ALL argument bind `history-delete-duplicates'
to a special value `keep-all' before calling `read-from-minibuffer'.
2. Tell `read-from-minibuffer' not to add a new element to the history
list, and add it later by calling `add-to-history' with the KEEP-ALL
argument.
I like the latter. In my latest patch I preserve the original history
list before calling `read-from-minibuffer', and overwrite the history list
modified by `read-from-minibuffer' with the old original value. After that,
`add-to-history' adds a new element to the original history list.
However, I admit such preserving is not a good solution, because
in the minibuffer the user can use own commands to modify the history
list, and this modified history list gets overwritten with the old value.
What about a special value of `history-length' (e.g. nil) to tell
`read-from-minibuffer' not to add a new element to the history list
(with the intention to add it later by `add-to-history')?
