This is my understanding as well. To be more specific, SAVEHIST
greater than HISTSIZE is equivalent to its being equal to HISTSIZE. It
was Oliver's point in the comment that, I believe, Felipe referred to:
https://www.reddit.com/r/zsh/comments/wy0sm6/what_is_your_history_configuration/im0yq3w/.
I don't understand Felipe's reply but I think he disagreed.
