Yes, I noticed that it didn't show up in the archives. Anyway, your
translation is included in the Darcs repository.

Another user suggested the same thing, only he got the idea from zsh.
This would work, except you pretty much have to know about this
feature in order to use it, which is bad, in my opinion.

Another way of improving the history commands would be to
interactively show what will be expanded on a line below the prompt
while typing. Something like:

fish> rm *~
fish> pwd
~/code/c/fish
fish> !rm
Expands to: rm *~

Bash already shows you the expanded command, but it doesn't do so
until it starts executing the command, which makes it a mostly useless
feature, in my opinion.
