seems sketchy.
Maybe. It's a tough call with a toolkit as flexible as LiveCode, since
it's used for such a wide range of different types of apps, each of
which may have any variety of data storage methods, undoable actions the
engine can't know about, etc.
There's definitely a lot of room for improvement in terms of general
guidance, such as generalized engine-level support for multi-step Undo.
But Undo is a good example of the challenge, since it involves so many
different data types and actions that at best such a framework could
only provide a shelf onto which we'd still need to put boxes of our own
code to become a useful thing.
