%history documentation out of date?

[ahmadia]

In IPython/core/history.py:722

"""Print input history (_i<n> variables), with most recent last.

%history       -> print at most 40 inputs (some may be multi-line)\\
%history n     -> print at most n inputs\\
%history n1 n2 -> print inputs between n1 and n2 (n2 not included)\\

...

Ranges of history can be indicated using the syntax:
4      : Line 4, current session
4-6    : Lines 4-6, current session

...

Does the range syntax supercede the original syntax for history? Should these lines be removed?

%history n     -> print at most n inputs\\
%history n1 n2 -> print inputs between n1 and n2 (n2 not included)\\

You're quite right, that's a leftover that should be removed. Would you like to make a pull request for it? Thanks.

sure thing, give me a couple of minutes.
