    -Replace ignoreboth with simpley ignoredups

this script would remove 'ignorespace' and would replace 'ignoreboth'
with 'ignoredups'.  This effectively disables the functionality of not
adding space prefixed commands into history.  It used to happen
siliently and could be quite confusing to users who use this feature.

This script relies on the command to be in the history, but we can
mostly fix the issue by "manual" removing a whitespace prefixed command
from the history after reading it from there.

+NOTE: this script may change your `HISTCONTROL` value by removing `ignorespace` and/or replacing `ignoreboth` with `ignoredups`.  See [`HISTCONTROL` interaction ][#histcontrol-interaction] for details.

 ## Usage
 Two functions **preexec** and **precmd** can now be defined and they'll be automatically invoked by bash-preexec if they exist.

+## `HISTCONTROL` interaction
+
+In order to be able to provide the last command text to the `preexec` hook, this script will remove `ignorespace` and/or will replace `ignoreboth` with `ignoredups` in your `HISTCONTROL` variable.  It will remember if `HISTCONTROL` has been modified and will remove the last command from the history "manually", after reading this command.  This may cause issues when you have scripts that rely on the literal value of `HISTCONTROL` or manipulate history in their own ways.
