Re: [Bug-readline] Minor bone to pick regarding the doc for next_history()

[Glenn Golden]

Didn't see any response to this, so here's a suggested patch against
history.3 from readline 6.3.006.

A bit ugly, but honestly could not come up with a cleaner way to express
the behavior briefly.


*** history.3   2015-03-29 08:42:35.260747012 -0600
--- NEW_history.3       2015-03-29 09:04:44.524794497 -0600
