Actually, I have been playing with it and it works pretty well. Let me know if you want it.

"Why the history brush, rather than using a fill layer?"
No offense intended but one major reason not to use the history brush (ever) is that once you close your file then you are commited. The history point is gone. Minimally you would want to duplicate your background layer so you always have the original to go back to - but then you just lost your memory savings. And even then you would have to redo all your work.
A similar approach, and one that is forever changeable - and does not use much memory at all - is to use a curve layer to burn as desired. Then paint (or use a gradeient) in the layer mask to remove/add this effect as desired. Changing the blending mode to luminosity (or something else)may be desired. Using a curve allows great flexibilty in amount of burn in each tonal area. And fine tuning is also available by changing the layer opacity. With this method you can fine tune the effect years later.
