Is it abuse? It hasn't slowed anything down yet.

Also, in the blog post I linked to the link you mention.

I don't know whether it's abuse. I just don't trust bash's history enough.

Yeah, I now noticed that you already put that link in the blog.

And to be clear, what's described in that link doesn't work, at least not on my OS X machine. Thus the code in my blog post.
