Michael pointed out that "restore" is a too confusing name
where "restore" is opposite to making a frame fullscreen.
OTOH, "undelete" is similar to "undo", so "undelete" better explains
what it does.  And the main advantage of the name "undelete-frame"
is that it's immediately clear that it's opposite to "delete-frame".
