the above seems more complicated than it should be. we already check if the history file exists. if we also check whether the old history exists we can then just load from old if new doesn't exist and delete old when new does exist

if let Some(parent) = history_file.parent() {
if !parent.exists() {
std::fs::create_dir_all(parent)?;
}
}

if history_file.exists() {
if let Err(err) = editor.load_history(&history_file) {
let history_files = [&history_file, &old_history_file];
let load_from = history_files.iter().find(|f| f.exists());

if let Some(file) = load_from {
if let Err(err) = editor.load_history(file) {
eprintln!("Warning: Failed to load command history: {}", err);
}
