I don't think this is a good idea. We don't support a real
construction history currently, only the re-executing the last
operator, and we should not use this kind of hack to make it work in
one particular case. It's just not good practice to work around such
limitations, better to work on improving the way operators work,
instead of adding ugly code to work around the design. I suggest
removing this functionality even for the add-ons.
