Add an option for the history from multiple sessions to be merged into
one, rather than the current behavior (last session to quit overwrites
the file).

Note that shadow history already does part of this - you can't browse
it with cursor-up, but you can grep it with hist -g.

Shadow history isn't well documented. I opened a bug report for it:

from ipython.

The SQLite history branch (pull request #282) resolves this - all open sessions are kept, grouped together by session and ordered by when the session was started.

OK, I'm closing this then as a separate issue, since we're ready to work on that pull request anyway.
