Re: history patch

My patch "shortend" (or is this written shortened, or not like his at all?
sorry, english is not my native language ;) the history by removing entries
that were identical to the one typed before.
I am proposing that the identical history entries are not removed when they
are inserted into the list (as does my patch) but supressed when the
history is requested.

so user types:

asdf
qwer
asdf
asdf
asdf

self._history contains all the above.

If the corresponding config is set, the history that the users gets when
requesting it (e.g. by typing <up> in the ui) looks like

asdf
qwer
asdf

hope this is more clear (if not ask :)
