As for usefulness... haven't you ever had to type in a password on the

leaving it in a file, so I usually scroll up to the line w/the password and
just delete the line. Problem solved.
I use history -d for that sort of thing.

I'd have to know the offset and the manpage doesn't specify
if the offset is in bytes, lines or time difference. Offset
from what?
Whereas If I've just entered a line w/a PW on it, I'm right
there...just scroll up, and delete it and I know I got the
right line, if you type in an offset, it seems like you might
not really know if you got it or now -- maybe, but the visual
feedback seems more immediate.
