To rename the command would be an incompatible change that would break
programs. To define an alias would not be a problem, but we would
need to think of a good one. I don't see any resemblance between
undo-sequence or undo-branching and what undo does.
Perhaps undo-or-redo would be a meaningful name.

I don't like making the default bindings for important commands
vary for different types of frames. On tty frames we NEED suspend-frame.
But we could have a mode to rebind keys which would rebind C-z.

Having C-z be different is ok in a special mode to rebind keys, but
in the default bindings we should not start making shift significant
for control keys.
