I would like to both share history across terminals and keep track of elapsed time for history commands. The intuitive way seems to be to use both EXTENDED_HISTORY and SHARE_HISTORY, but this sets all elapsed timestamps to 0 after restarting the shell. Is this the correct way to do it? Is it even possible?

Scenario 1: EXTENDED_HISTORY and SHARE_HISTORY

$ history -Dn | sed 's|\n|n |g'
0:00 cat << EOF > ~/.zshrc
 HISTFILE=~/.zhistory-test
 HISTSIZE=100
 SAVEHIST=100
 setopt EXTENDED_HISTORY
 setopt SHARE_HISTORY # the only change compared to below
 EOF
0:00 exec zsh

0:00sleep 1

0:00 exec zsh

Scenario 2: only EXTENDED_HISTORY

$ history -Dn | sed 's|\n|n |g'
0:00 cat << EOF > ~/.zshrc
 HISTFILE=~/.zhistory-test
 HISTSIZE=100
 SAVEHIST=100
 setopt EXTENDED_HISTORY
 EOF
0:00 exec zsh

0:01sleep 1

0:00 exec zsh

Scenario 3: INC_APPEND_HISTORY and SHARE_HISTORY

Same as scenario 1, but replacing SHARE_HISTORY with INC_APPEND_HISTORY seems to have the same effect.
