Trying to do fancier things with history I'm clearly not understanding something. Doc says '^' is first word in a history entry and '$' is the last. But:

% history -m "^" 1                 # Shows everything
% history -m "^nosuchstring" 1    # Also shows everything
% history -m "$" 1                # Shows nothing

... so I'm obviously missing something.
