No, it's not. It seems like you're talking about the per-session
history, and that functionality is provided by readline, whether or not
you do anything with the module.

The history-related code you see is for loading and saving the history
between sessions. Disabling that code would not disable the per-session
history, which might be why you think it's provided by your shell.
