calc-quit sets the undo list to nil on purpose, probably to save limited
memory in the early days.   If there are still memory considerations,
then calc-quit could truncate the undo list rather than remove it,
otherwise it'd be easy to have calc-quit not do anything with the undo
list.

Maybe, but I wonder if this would cause problems in some situations.
How would full-calc be affected, for instance.
