(setq undo-auto-current-boundary-timer t) does not work in my emacs 25
to turn off amalgamating.
however, i /might/ have thought of a solution. called-interactively-p
does not work reliably with defadvice, but this-command-keys might be
a substitute. then maybe i can advise all amalgamating commands, and
if nil, do undo-boundary. untested.
and then when emacs 26 rolls around, i will try using (setq
amalgamating-undo-limit 1). which i presume will work. thank you for
all of your comments and, if any of you implemented turning off
amalgamation, for doing that too.
