I am not completly sure, if I really want to make exact undo, i.e. 
undoing commands by reversing all their effects, or just restoring the
program state to an arbitrary state of its history, which would not 
effect things like files.

Object destruction should not be a big problem to restore. But writing 
files or other resources is because it is not guaranted that it is even 
possible or wanted.
I considered either ignoring undoing external commands completly or 
adding some plugin system to do it.
