That would inded make more sense to me.  Maybe even a separate command
that wouldn't exit but just set a local var that would then cause the
next exit to refrain from recording the data in the history (that
command could even instead just provide a way to switch to some other
history var, so you could throw stuff away by selecting a dummy history
var, but you could also choose some other history var if you so wanted).
