I know that a lot of people like modifying their history automatically
(including me!), but doing so by default is essentially silent data
corruption. I think this is the kind of thing users need to actively
opt into.

Similarly, while it's neat if you're into it, in my opinion constant
importing of other sessions' histories is too much action-at-a-distance
to enable without an explicit opt-in.

I haven't really thought about the rest.
