i think you're ignoring the fact that any X command can be undone
by a single u command. this isn't just window dressing. (sorry.)
as you note, i can repeat {X ...; oops; u} as many times as necessary
then save all with X:':w.
how do you propose accompishing multi-file undo without a multi-file
editor?
