Severity: normal

The `Electric-command-history-redo-expression` command is autoloaded
but it doesn't seem to do anything:

0. emacs -Q
1. M-x command-history RET
2. M-x Electric-command-history-redo-expression RET

Since this has seemingly been broken for a long time, and no one has
noticed, perhaps echistory.el is simply unused and should be obsoleted?

I find nothing about this obscure command online or on the mailing lists.

I have now moved echistory.el to lisp/obsolete.  Let's see if anyone
protests against this change, meanwhile I'm closing this bug report.
