Ash shell history variables

In daily work I use shell history variables a lot and I miss them in ash. Is there some way to enable them?

Example:

hexdump /var/run/dhcp.leases

ls -l !$

That should give a long listing of /var/run/dhcp.leases but it doesn't.

or

cat /etc/some.conf /etc/config/firewall

ls -l !*

Should long list /etc/some.conf and /etc/config/firewall
