There is another complication: shell can be killed. Don't know about ash, but
hush for sure has a clever-ish minimalistic signal handling which AVOIDS
installing signal handling if shell's reaction to the signal is to simply exit.

In order to implement "delaying saving of history" this will need to be
changed.

Bug 723 complains about exactly this problem: that when shell gets killed,
history is lost.

I lean towards sticking with current (circa 1.15.x) behavior, which is (1) fair
and (2) does not have "lost history" problem.
