If possible, I'd like to get my branch
fix/no-undo-boundary-on-secondary-buffer-change in as well. It's not a
huge change (in terms of size), although it's quite significant in that
it affects nearly every keypress in Emacs because it changes the undo
system.

It changes a behaviour which is breaking my current package, and which
cannot be worked around in lisp (at least not sanely).
