Yes, that is another way to do it, which I haven't yet tried (I don't even
collect any fail
low statistics in my search).

In the long run I hope to reduce or completely eliminate the use of history
counters
for pruning and reductions.  History information isn't very reliable, and it is
probably
better (but harder) to rely on knowledge instead.
