Or add this to a button or hotkey or something:-

duplicate( null, 1, siCurrentHistory )

first argument is the item to duplicate, null makes it the current
selection. Second is the number of duplicates and the last magic argument is
the one that duplicates without the history. The advantage over preferences
being you don't have to keep changing them. Depends what you need from it.

Unless of course you mean you want the original object as it looks before
any construction history is added, in which case:

duplicate( null, 1, siOriginalHistory )

but that's not implemented. If it is what you want I guess you could knock
something up that removes the construction stack after a duplicate.
