The standard doesn't say that, so in native mode bash's `fc' is
indeed slightly nonconf

I just reported this last August [1]. If you, like me, never use
history expansion, the best solution might be to disable it in your
.bashrc file:
set +o histexp
How unfortunate.
P.S., "\t%s" seems to have an extra space squeezed between them with bash: "\t
%s",
unless perhaps the spec says that %s always starts with a space.

I like it!
P.S.,

Yes, it omits the line numbers. But leaves the "^I " separators!

On reflection, splitting by NULs in JQ is better; there is no guarantee
that xargs will always provide an even number of arguments.

It helps when reconstructing an associative array as a JSON object in JQ
$ declare -A a=([x]=1 [y]=2)
$ jq --args -n '[$ARGS.positional | _nwise(2) | {(.[0]): .[1]}] | add'
"${a[@]@k}"

It might be helpful to have explicit cross-references between the help
displays for «history» and «fc».
