Details:

The new parser, or perhaps lexer, does not like the expression 'history 10'.

Output from Octave:


history 10
parse error:

  syntax error

>>> history 10


However, if I make the input '10' look like some other token such as a string
or a number then it works.

Working examples


history +10
history -10
history "10"
