Not yet - this is one of those things where the data is there - all the 
history is there and MQL has the capability to ask for it.. it's just a 
matter of creating the UI to actually ask the question and display the 
answer.

On the History page on freebase.com in particular, we're doing the 
history queries over XmlHttpRequest in the browser, so it is entirely 
reasonable (and encouraged!) for people to use Firebug to inspect the 
query and hack it into new forms - the history query is particularly 
gnarly so you'll probably learn a lot :)

Also, don't be put off by our obscured JavaScript on freebase.com. The 
only reason that our JavaScript is obscured is entirely about 
compressing it...at some point we hope to make unobscured JS available 
when we can, so people can learn what we're actually doing with those 
MQL results.
