-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 100 means that useful commands will disappear rapidly (testing some complicated pattern or one-line scripts easily generates 10 variants). 65 536 is there because I periodically happen to remember lots of one-liner scripts I never intended to repeat (and thus did not add to vimrc) or which appeared as too trivial to save (I have it in history: good, saves some time; do not have: well I will retype it in a minute). Though due to macro feature, wipes during testing of parinfo and the fact that my long-running vims are more likely to crash then to exit I did not yet hit 10 000 limit in vim, but in zsh I am close to it.
