Scenario:
- I open a file
- I make one big global change (C0)... say via substitute+regex

was in error.
Can I undo the initial change (C0) and keep all the ensuing changes?

Interesting answers indeed.
Looking at my problem from a different angle I eventually noticed
something that allowed me to single out the outcome of the incorrect
changes and let me reverse them witho
