        src/lib/libedit: readline.c

Log Message:
>From Bastian Maerkisch, via Igno Schwarze:

Even though section "2.3.3 Information About the History List"
of the history(3) info(1) manual only says

  -- Function: int where_history (void)
     Returns the offset of the current history element.

which maybe isn't completely clear, a plausible implementation
is that the offset returned is the same offset that can be used
for history_set_pos(), i.e. that it is 0 for the oldest entry
and increases with time, and that's how the GNU implementation
behaves indeed.

The libedit implementation, on the other hand, returns 1 for the
newest entry and increases going back in time.
