That would be a lot of code and infrastructure for something that is of relatively modest use. We could add a way to delete lines in the history by number and then it would be possible to script the rest yourself (save the history, work out which lines you want to delete, then issue commands to delete them).
Another alternative would be to have a way to save and reload the history so you could edit it externally, but that has a lot of potential problems.
