I'm willing to change undoInfo to do that; the old UML docs will just
be wrong then.

If it continues to be the case that Zope contains no tests verifying
the behavior(s) it relies on, I'll have no way to know whether that
stuff is fixed or not.  ZODB will pass its own tests, but that's not
enough (the ZODB tests have been passing all along).
