get-history -count defaults to 32

Is there a better way to look at *all* of the history when one doesn't
know how many entries there are?

This works:
--------
$hist=get-history -count 1|foreach-object{$_.id}
get-history -count $hist
--------

Should there be a -count value for *all*?

Maybe there's something more appropriate?

That can't be right...

$MaximumHistoryCount sets the limit of HistoryInfo items the current session
keeps. The ID increments with each command.
