So you are saying that even setting the string to " -> " gets " → "
into the history?  If so, that's the bug that we should solve, I
think.

Is it a problem to have the ASCII " -> " in the history?  Assuming we
solve this part of the problem, would you still need to disable adding
the string to the history?
