Subject: bug#16837: 24.3.50; Allow a HISTORY arg for `read-file-name', `read-file-name-default'
Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2014 10:34:37 -0800 (PST)
An enhancement request -

Please consider allowing an optional HISTORY arg to these functions
(with the default value being of course `file-name-history').

It can happen that someone wants the behavior of one of these functions,
but with a different file-name history, such as `shell-command-history'.
