Tassilo Horn ca70612d3c Document caveats of match_prev_cmd strategy
This strategy relies on the history being exactly in the order in which
commands have been entered.  Therefore, options like suppressing
duplicates or expiring duplicates first will lead to unexpected
suggestions.

#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Match Previous Command Suggestion Strategy #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Suggests the most recent history item that matches the given
# prefix and whose preceding history item also matches the most
# recently executed command.
#
# For example, suppose your history has the following entries:
# - pwd
# - ls foo
# - ls bar
# - pwd
#
# Given the history list above, when you type 'ls', the suggestion
# will be 'ls foo' rather than 'ls bar' because your most recently
# executed command (pwd) was previously followed by 'ls foo'.
#
# Note that this strategy won't work as expected with ZSH options that don't
# preserve the history order such as `HIST_IGNORE_ALL_DUPS` or
# `HIST_EXPIRE_DUPS_FIRST`.
