that would not count as pretty nice tool for manipulating arrays

  for i in history; echo $i; end | grep foo

is not really useful.
i'd have to do something like this:

  set found (for i in $history; 
               echo $i; 
             end | grep -n foo | awk -F: '{ print $1 }')

to get the matching indices, which would be necessary to manipulate the
history. that seems rather awkward...
