That's a great idea... I think I had something like this year's ago, too.
That is a hell of a lot quicker than "find" would be.  And, true, there are
too many limitations to type.

John Claude does a lot of things like this with "look" in other history
files, or ad-hoc files.  Of course, he would have it names something like
"echq" or such.   :-)
