I already mentioned history-beginning-search-backward/forward
(history-search-end), the point is not how to do that.

The point is that history-beginning-search-backward-end encompasses
the functionality of history-search-backward, so why not make
history-search-backward do the same as
history-beginning-search-backward-end, if no functionality would be
lost?
