Yes, this the TODO resolved, of course.

But for the "TODO man page reference", this should be more than just
a reference to the man page. What these settings do should also be
shortly described.

Also

HISTSIZE=1000
SAVEHIST=1000

should be changed to

HISTSIZE=1000
SAVEHIST=$HISTSIZE

so that the size could be changed by modifying a single value.
But see also the suggestion of make SAVEHIST behave as HISTSIZE,
so that setting SAVEHIST should be removed.
