include pip installs in `conda env export --from-history`

Hi - I like the idea of the --from-history tag for conda env export for cross-platform compatibility, and simpler looking .yml files. However, it does not export the pip installed packages, as it normally would without the --from-history tag. Since pip is often still used to install packages not available on conda channels, the utility of the --from-history tag is greatly minimized. Wondering if it would be possible to track history of pip installs. If it is difficult to do this in the same way as for conda packages, i wonder if there could be an additional argument, e.g. '--include-pip-in-history', that would just append all the pip installed packages to the output of conda env export when --from-history is used. Thanks a lot Nick
