    I was recently thinking that rather than adding new history vars everywhere
    all the time, we could change the history navigation to automatically skip
    entries which are not completion candidates (at least for those cases that
    are `must-match').

That seems like a good idea, but I am not sure it is a substitute
for separate history lists.
