It seems to be used here:

        // reduce counting -- the total lines can't have
        // changed if we haven't done any edits.
        if (file_modified != last_file_modified) {
                tot = cur + count_lines(dot, end - 1) - 1;
                last_file_modified = file_modified;
        }

I thought about it a bit more and I think it's ok as-is:
[Modified] will appear anyway when user goes to command mode.
Thus, for example, accidental quitting without saving is not possible.


Next issue:
Looks like undo depth is not bounded?
What if user repeatedly inserts and deletes text ad infinitum -
will we eventually oom?
Do we even *want* to fix it?
"Undo as long as you have RAM" has its appeal too ;)
