I wish that were more common.  I'd hate to have to try and deal with an
undo inside the middle of a lengthy document, without losing everything
else you did afterwards.

I'm used to doing saves every now and then (never relying on auto-
saves).  To deal with the *retrieve something ten steps back* problem,
it's a save-as to duplicate the current thing, undo like crazy, fix the
mistake.  Then open the duplicate separately, copy and paste the new
stuff into the now-fixed thing.

Thankfully I don't have to do that often, but while that's do-able with
a lengthy document, there are other things that's less achievable.
