Well, frankly it sounds mostly irrelevant. I am not talking
about undo along file/selection boundaries. I am talking about
undo along "type of change" boundaries.
If you're saying that you should be able to eventually mix the
two ideas in the same command, I would agree with that. But
nothing about selection is a prerequisite to what I'm proposing.
