As a Chrome developer, I understand the difference, but "undo closed tab" is just the most recent tab, where we have the 5 most recently closed tabs in the history menu. From a user perspective, why should one be different than the other? Why do I only get a new tab when I'm undoing the last tab, and not 2 or 3 tabs ago? Just because in code they're different, and that seems wrong.
