There is nothing complex about it (with the latest add-to-history) version. I was talking about a different proposal, one involving properties to control lengths. It was very complex. To be clear, was it this proposal from Juri: A related feature that specifies the maximum length of the history list uses the `history-length' _property_ of the history list _symbol_ to override the default value of the _variable_ `history-length' for a particular history list. Exactly the same thing could be implemented for `history-delete-duplicates', i.e. the property `history-delete-duplicates' would override its default value for a particular history list.
