The first part of this paragraph is not a proposal. It describes
how `history-length' already uses the property of the history symbol.
The Lisp code of `add-to-history' Kim submitted to this list,
demonstrates very simple implementation of this functionality as:
(or (get history-var 'history-length) history-length)
I proposed to do the same for history-delete-duplicates,
i.e. to use the following condition in `add-to-history':
(or (get history-var 'history-delete-duplicates) history-delete-duplicates)
So my proposal is not very complex, and I don't think Richard replied to
my email.
