        into function calls, for example). With this option, you'll see the
        native history instead of the user-entered version: '%%cd /' will be

        By default, input history is printed without line numbers so it can be

        By default, all input history from the current session is displayed.
        Ranges of history can be indicated using the syntax:
        
        ``4``
            Line 4, current session
        ``4-6``
            Lines 4-6, current session

            sessions ago.
