As you can see, this has very little to do with documentation as we think
about it.

Sarah your response makes me think there should be an independent utility
like "author" or "history" and used like "hist -ls" to get a history of ls.
"auth" would be a better choice of name. Originally I thought of "who" but
that's already taken. And yes, that can be developed independently rather
than setting a "-who" standard forcing thousands of changes. That is a way
forward.

Thanks for your inputs,
