There is the possibiliy of converting the undo stack into a modifyer 
stack, that way you could remove parts of it and reorder parts. . .

It would work by each successive undo push storing the differences 
between it and the last push, rather then just a copy of the mesh.  Or 
so I think.  I've been thinking about this lately :)

By the way, there's also the possibility of adding a tool macro record 
feature to Blender, where a user could record combinations of tools and 
then re-execute them.  I've already implemented it in my new mesh type 
(no, its not in the code I posted, I did it after posting that) and it's 
fairly cool.  The only problem is dealing with transforms, but tools 
that only take a one-paremeter transform (like extrude) can probably use 
a special transform function.
