REQUEST: change in replay history

[Dirk Laurie]

I have just been trying to find the previous command
after a long debugging session in which every command
was 'return'.  After sixty or so 'return' replays,
I gave up.  I couldn't suppress the treacherous thought
that Matlab 3.5, which I still use on my slow machine
at home, does not add a command to the replay history
if it is identical to the previous one.

Would it require more than a simple string comparison
to make Octave behave like that too?
