I do like the functionality of this patch, but this is something that
requires a lot of testing. You don't want your text to be changed in
unexpected ways (lines go missing or duplicated where you aren't
looking).
What helps with this is someone writing a good test. One that also
tries to find the border cases. In this specific case it's not so easy,
since it involves restarting Vim to check that loading undo information
from a file works as expected. But it doesn't involve writing C code,
any advanced Vim user should be able to do this.
