+The editor command loop automatically creates an undo boundary before
+each key sequence is executed.  Thus, each undo normally undoes the
+effects of one command.  Self-inserting input characters are an
+exception.  The command loop makes a boundary for the first such
+character; the next 19 consecutive self-inserting input characters do
+not make boundaries, and then the 20th does, and so on as long as
+self-inserting characters continue.

+All buffer modifications add a boundary whenever the previous undoable
+change was made in some other buffer.  This way, a command that modifies
+several buffers makes a boundary in each buffer it changes.
