Yes, this is a function that bash adds to readline using the function API.
It executes the line(s) internally and adds the command(s) to the history
list, as if they had been typed directly, and accesses the history list if
given a numeric argument. It's not general enough to make part of readline.
Other applications could add something similar, but I don't know that any
have.
