[FR] save command times and exit status in history automatically

Right now, bash history saves only the command line actually executed. Why not also, optionally, save command execution times and exit statuses? This information is practically free to collect.

Re: Issues with history substitution and its documentation

The availability of the % string only after a command unrelated to it (not using !??) is executed as shown below is not documented, but it probably falls under the category of a bug. That is, it seems reasonable that both echo "!%" commands should behave as the second one does. [root@localhost ~]#
