_history-complete-older and _history-complete-newer are not documented.

qaa% autoload -U compinit
qaa% compinit
qaa% bindkey | grep _history-complete
"^[," _history-complete-newer
"^[/" _history-complete-older

With a big history:

zsh: do you wish to see all 29860 possibilities (29866 lines)? 

I'm wondering how this can make sense to output such a long list
non interactively. Moreover, the tab key should not be regarded
as a yes.
