    multishell - reduce multishell-primary-name savehist extra fuss
    
    I'm finding that preserving multishell-primary-name across sessions
    isn't so desirable, and thinking that the idea about including the value
    of savehist-additional-variables on savehist-additional-variables may
    not be either effective or necessarily useful, so removing the note
    about it.
