Did you try it? It really shouldn't be any simpler than anything else. And 
I dismissed what you wrote because the example you _did_ state was about 
something else entirely (ie apparently some giggle bug that simplifies 
things incorrectly).

It's not missing history. It's all there in --full-history. The default is 
to give a reasonable simplification, and I told you what the 
simplification was, and it's perfectly conceptually fine - AND IT IS MUCH 
MORE EFFICIENT than the alternatives.

So I'm not seeing your point what-so-ever. 

My point is:

 - with full-history, you have it all, but it's useless in practice

 - without full-history, it's useful in practice

You never gave any examples otherwise.
