keybindings for sending to a user often results in mixes as not added to command history

[nygren@MIT.EDU]

I've found that having a keybinding such as:

bindkey recv H command aimwrite aphacker

often results in me mixing messages to people. I'm not sure if other have the same problem? When I press "H" and send a message, I sometimes subsequently try to send a message to the same user with "M-x CURSORUP RETURN" (which is how I usually send to other users that I've just sent a message to). However, as the "aimwrite aphacker" is not added to the command history, I send a mix to the previous person I'd been conversing with. This has been embarrassing at least once.

I wonder what a good way to address this would be? Perhaps a prefix command that adds a command to the history prior to executing it? For example:

bindkey recv H command with-history aimwrite aphacker

would add "aimwrite aphacker" to the command history and then run that command?

I took a stab at implementing with-history as described here. It's at ​http://github.com/dehnert/barnowl/tree/with-history (​http://github.com/dehnert/barnowl/commit/f02672dc3fbd6dd6c16c70096d1ed0d17cf055c9). It seems to mostly work, with the caveat that I think I'm getting more empty strings in my history when activating with-history via bindkey. I'm not sure why that would be, though I might be missing something obvious in my somewhat sleepy state.
