Hmm, except I've just realized that lines read from $HISTFILE are taken
to be local to the current shell when they are loaded at startup, We
would need to filter for the HIST_OLD flag instead of HIST_FOREIGN to
get just those lines entered interactively, and I'm not sure how that
interacts with INC_APPEND_HISTORY -- do the events become "old" as soon
as they are appended to the file?

The options -N (new), -O (old), and -F (foreign) are all currently unused
by "fc" if we wanted to add multiple filterings.

Anyway, sorry, but the patch as it stands does not actually solve the
original problem.
