/*
 * This history stuff is mostly straightforward, except for one thing
 * that makes everything very complicated.  Suppose that the following
 * commands get executed:
 *	echo foo
 *	history redo
 * It's important that the history event recorded for the second command
 * be "echo foo", not "history redo".  Otherwise, if another "history redo"
 * command is typed, it will result in infinite recursions on the
 * "history redo" command.  Thus, the actual recorded history must be
 *	echo foo
 *	echo foo
 * To do this, the history command revises recorded history as part of
 * its execution.  In the example above, when "history redo" starts
 * execution, the current event is "history redo", but the history
 * command arranges for the current event to be changed to "echo foo".
 *
 * There are three additional complications.  The first is that history
 * substitution may only be part of a command, as in the following
 * command sequence:
 *	echo foo bar
 *	echo [history word 3]
 * In this case, the second event should be recorded as "echo bar".  Only
 * part of the recorded event is to be modified.  Fortunately, Tcl_Eval
 * helps with this by recording (in the evalFirst and evalLast fields of
 * the intepreter) the location of the command being executed, so the
 * history module can replace exactly the range of bytes corresponding
 * to the history substitution command.
 *
 * The second complication is that there are two ways to revise history:
 * replace a command, and replace the result of a command.  Consider the
 * two examples below:
 *	format {result is %d} $num	   |	format {result is %d} $num
 *	print [history redo]		   |	print [history word 3]
 * Recorded history for these two cases should be as follows:
 *	format {result is %d} $num	   |	format {result is %d} $num
 *	print [format {result is %d} $num] |	print $num
 * In the left case, the history command was replaced with another command
 * to be executed (the brackets were retained), but in the case on the
 * right the result of executing the history command was replaced (i.e.
 * brackets were replaced too).
 *
 * The third complication is that there could potentially be many
 * history substitutions within a single command, as in:
 *	echo [history word 3] [history word 2]
 * There could even be nested history substitutions, as in:
 *	history subs abc [history word 2]
 * If history revisions were made immediately during each "history" command
 * invocations, it would be very difficult to produce the correct cumulative
 * effect from several substitutions in the same command.  To get around
 * this problem, the actual history revision isn't made during the execution
 * of the "history" command.  Information about the changes is just recorded,
 * in xxx records, and the actual changes are made during the next call to
 * Tcl_RecordHistory (when we know that execution of the previous command
 * has finished).
