Almost.  There were a few comments missing, and things like that.
E.g. please preserve the arch-tag.

Done.

As mentioned earlier, your code truncates non-history variables as well.
But now that you use it to save the list of variables as well, it means that
if the number of history variables you have is larger than savehist-length,
than you will lose some of your history as well.
