There is a remark about this right at ":help 'history'".
Maybe behaviour of 'set nocp' can be differentiated depending on
whether &cp was already off , or &cp was on. It's one thing if
you do 'set nocp' and &cp was on, and another thing when
you do 'set nocp' and &cp was already off. Maybe 'set nocp'
doesn't need to reset options to default values when it was
already 'nocp'.
