I wouldn't mind logging the arguments as well, especially for commands
that modify the repository or a stash.
I wouldn't be interested in logging query-class commands, like 
fossil ls, fossil status, fossil timeline

usage -> commandtrace or commandhistory or cmdtrace or cmdhistory

Note: on Linux/unix, it doesn't add much, 
  history [-OPTIONS] | grep fossil
will do fine, on MS Windows, I think it really adds value.
