You might still think about different names to distinguish
offset-from-base numbering and event designator numbering.  Or even put
the current-position related funcs all into the "Moving Around" section.

Incidentally, I wondered if the the docs of add_history() might note
something like

    If the history_max_entries stifling limit is exceeded then the
    oldest entry is removed.

When history_stifle() says "remembering only the last MAX entries" I
wasn't quite sure if that meant a once-off truncate or a limit enforced
from then on.  (The answer being both, if I'm not mistaken :-)
