+    - It's not possible to have one solution for all languages.  Design an

+    - For interpreted languages, use the interpreter to obtain information.
+      Should work for Java (Eclipse does this), Python, Tcl, etc.

+-   UNDO TREE: keep all states of the text, don't delete undo info.

+    Could also use timestamps (to show the time and/or jump to a state five
+    minutes ago). (David Schweikert)

 -   PERSISTENT UNDO: store undo in a file.
-    Support multiple threads.  Show the list of changes in a window to be able

+    Use timestamps, so that a version a certain time ago can be found and info
+    before some time/date can be flushed. 'undopersist' gives maximum time to
+    keep undo: "3h", "1d", "2w", "1y", etc.  For the file use dot and
+    extension: ".filename.un~" (like swapfile but "un~" instead of "swp").
