1 -- undo/redo by managing the sequence of events in the current session
2 -- based on https://github.com/akkartik/mu1/blob/master/edit/012-editor-undo.mu
4 -- Incredibly inefficient; we make a copy of lines on every single keystroke.
5 -- The hope here is that we're either editing small files or just reading large files.
6 -- TODO: highlight stuff inserted by any undo/redo operation
7 -- TODO: coalesce multiple similar operations
