   	It's also possible to disable history substitution altogether   
   	with 'set +H'.   
      
   	I believe this behavior is rather confusing to new users, and   
   	given that C-r (reverse-search-history) and cursor keys already   
   	offer a comparable feature, and one likely to fit better with   
   	user's prior experience at that, my suggestion would be to   
   	have it disabled by default.
