+This function implements yet another form of history searching. The
+text before the cursor is used to select lines from the history,
+as for tt(history-beginning-search-backward) except that all matches are
+shown in a numbered menu. Typing the appropriate digits inserts the
+full history line. Note that leading zeroes must be typed (they are only
+shown when necessary for removing ambiguity). The entire history is
+searched; there is no distinction between forwards and backwards.
+
+With a prefix argument, the search is not anchored to the start of
+the line; the string typed by the use may appear anywhere in the line
+in the history.
+
+If the widget name contains `tt(-end)' the cursor is moved to the end of
+the line inserted. If the widget name contains `tt(-space)' any space
+in the text typed is treated as a wildcard and can match anything (hence
+a leading space is equivalent to giving a prefix argument). Both
+forms can be combined, for example:
+
+example(zle -N history-beginning-search-menu-space-end \
+ history-beginning-search-menu)
+)

+# Menu-driven alternative to history-beginning-search-backward.
+# As it uses a menu there is no sense of "forward" or "backward", however;
+# the entire history is searched.
+#
+# Configuration:
+# autoload -U history-beginning-search-menu
+# zle -N history-beginning-search-menu
+# bindkey '\eP' history-beginning-search-menu
+#
+# Example:
+# % /bin/su<ESC-P>
+# Enter digit:
+# 1 /bin/su -c 'make install' 4 /bin/su - perforce
+# 2 /bin/su 5 /bin/su -c
+# 3 /bin/su -c 'chown pws:pws **/*(u0)'
+#
+# Typing "1" expands the line to
+# % /bin/su -c 'make install'
+#
+# With a prefix argument, the search is not anchored to the beginning,
+# so for example "/su" could expand to "p4 files //depot/support/..."
+#
+# If this is bound to a widget containing "-end", e.g.
+# zle -N history-beginning-search-menu-end history-beginning-search-menu
+# then the cursor is put at the end of the line, else it is left
+# after the matched characters.
+#
+# If this is bound to a widget containing "-space", then any space in
+# the line so far is matched as a wildcard. (This means putting a space
+# at the start of the line is equivalent to specifying a prefix
+# argument.)
