What about the "history/save" feature?  More or less, I threw together a few
patchset a while back, that did not perform any disk changes until a "save"
command was issued.  All of the commands to execute were queued, so that the
user could undo/redo changes before committing to disk.

I did not get much feedback, but it might be due some thought for a future
branch.
