It would be useful to be able to delete some old history elements from the history list. I think a good key binding for this command in the minibuffer is M-k. I think that is too obscure to be included in Emacs; the code is short, but the cost in conceptual complexity is too great. So please don't install it. Those who would like it can put it in their .emacs files.
