If I understand correctly, you propose to change this snipped in the guide:

    HISTSIZE=200
    SAVEHIST=200

With this:

    HISTSIZE=200
    SAVEHIST=$HISTSIZE

To me the original snippet looks better because it makes it clear that
the two parameters are independent. The proposed snippet is more
complex due to an additional indirection and a misleading suggestion
that the two parameters must (or should) be set to the same value.
