    The reason I did this was to fully mimic the [code from the Scala 
interpreter](https://github.com/scala/scala/blob/master/src/repl/scala/tools/nsc/interpreter/session/FileBackedHistory.scala#L77).
 I think this will make it easier to compare in case the Scala version is 
updated some time in the future, but you're right we could use a lighter weight 
construct, we just risk having different behavior than the standard Scala shell 
history.
    
    Not a big deal to me, but I'm inclined to stick with cloning the Scala 
shell behavior. Let me know if you still prefer the `java.io.File` route, I'd 
be happy to change to that.
