Hi Stefan,

To clarify, that is actually the only thing that I need as a user for
self-insert-command.  It would make an enormous difference in my
use of Emacs.  Huge.

So I don't need undo-boundary to work in any particular way -- IF
I have the ability to cluster self-insert-command by 1 instead of that
hardcoded 20 throughout Emacs (including Org of course).

My need for undo-boundary to work the way it did
before is only so that I could call undo-boundary
after every invocation of self-insert-command.

Therefore, IF we have that variable, then undo-boundary considerations
should be simply to DTRT for undo-tree, org-self-insert-command,
and other code, in such a way that subtle bugs are prevented.

Maybe the user should be able to set undo boundaries and
have them work after self-insert-command?   Dunno, I'm
not familiar with internals enough to opine.

Hope that clarifies.  I will follow the discussion as long as I'm
CC'ed as I am now.

Thanks.

Samuel
