API: UndoExclude_Begin(), UndoExclude_End()

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

Sometimes I use functions, that'll create UndoPoints, even if it's not neccessary for ny script at all, spamming the UndoList for the user.
For that, I would love to exclude parts of my script from undo-management, with: UndoExclude_Begin(), UndoExclude_End()

That way, I could decide, what to include into an UndoState and what not.
That kind of precision is good for the user of the script, so I only Undo stuf necessary.

Aha!

So that is what is going on with all those strange undo entries filling up my buffer, even though I do not touch the JSFX, just start/stop playing. And when the buffer grows beyond 3 MB or so, Reaper starts to stutter on play (https://forum.cockos.com/showthread....28#post2141552).

Yes, this is very much needed.

Bumping this for good measure...

It's really a problem for both users and scripters alike at this point.

i can really use this as well. i keep the undo history on screen just to undo lists of pitch and volume changes.,.,.,

I am again in a situation where I need this for a script.

Yes, please, devs!
These API functions would be awesome!

I understand it's maybe difficult to exclude MainCommands from undo, but other functions should be excludable as a first step.
There are a lot of ideas and space to improve whole undo system, but as a first, maybe temporary, step UndoExclude_Begin() and UndoExclude_End() would be awesome.
