hi all,

i came across this little problem when using the edit library
(https://github.com/openbsd/src/tree/master/lib/libedit): when using the
history facility one needs to explicitly set a size, e.g., 

history(hist, &event, H_SETSIZE, 100);

otherwise history will not work. the man page history(3) makes no
mention of this fact. this leads me to three questions:

        0. is this an oversight or by design?
        1. shouldn't this requirement be documented?
        2. shouldn't there be a reasonable default?

if the answers to 1. or 2. are yes, i'd be willing to send patches.

cheers,
björn
