I agree. Also more people would type \e than they would \E. Also they are used to having \e available. Adding the functionality to the history is useful, but we shouldn't change things too much. I currently think that if \e is typed on it's own, then \E QUERY BUFFER goes into the history. Keep the existing behaviour of \e FILENAME the same. I'd doubt that a user would type \E QUERY BUFFER themselves often (if at all).
