That's approximately what "print -z" does.  At least for _complete_debug,
the whole point is to get them into the history while you can still scroll
around and look at them.

Unfortunately that means either putting them into the future history or
changing the event number of the current command.  Neither works, at
least not easily, because the history is now stored as a ring rather
than as a simple linked list.  Wayne, are you out there?
