Description

It's unclear how to disable History if it's even possible.

Furthermore the docs for Reedline::create state: "Create a new Reedline engine with a local History that is not synchronized to a file.", however looking at the implementation it is set to aFileBackedHistory. This seems like another issue.

Research direction

Start by reading the Reedline::create documentation and its implementation, focusing on the History configuration and the FileBackedHistory it currently creates. Determine whether disabling History is supported or requires a design change, then update the behavior and documentation so the supported configuration is explicit and consistent.
