SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONS
  complete_cmdline_from_hist(%args) -> any
    Complete command line from recent entries in bash history.

    This routine will search your bash history file (recent first a.k.a.
    backward) for entries for the same command, and complete option with the
    same name or argument in the same position. For example, if you have
    history like this:

     cmd1 --opt1 val arg1 arg2
     cmd1 --opt1 valb arg1b arg2b arg3b
     cmd2 --foo

    Then if you do:

     complete_cmdline_from_hist(comp_line=>'cmd1 --bar --opt1 ', comp_point=>18);

    then it means the routine will search for values for option "--opt1" and
    will return:

     ["val", "valb"]

    Or if you do:

     complete_cmdline_from_hist(comp_line=>'cmd1 baz ', comp_point=>9);

    then it means the routine will search for second argument (argv[1]) and
    will return:

     ["arg2", "arg2b"]

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   cmdline => *str*

        Command line, defaults to COMP_LINE.

    *   max_hist_lines => *int* (default: 5000)

        Stop searching after this amount of history lines.

        -1 means unlimited (search all lines in the file).

        Timestamp comments are not counted.

    *   max_result => *int* (default: 100)

        Stop after finding this number of distinct results.

        -1 means unlimited.

    *   path => *str*

        Path to `.bash_history` file.

        Defaults to "~/.bash_history".

        If file does not exist or unreadable, will return empty completion
        answer.

    *   point => *int*

        Command line, defaults to COMP_POINT.

    Return value:

     (any)

    timestamp in bash history).

    Find recent subcommands? e.g. git {status,log,commit}
