One simple way to do that would be to modify the writing of the extended
history in savehistfile() (see Src/hist.c).  If you add the name at the
end, like this:

    ... fprintf(out, ": %ld:%ld:%s;", ...

The parsing code won't care about the extra characters since it just
skips to the ';' after parsing the first 2 items.
