@cindex amalgamating commands, and undo
The editor command loop automatically calls @code{undo-boundary} just
before executing each key sequence, so that each undo normally undoes
the effects of one command. A few exceptional commands are
@emph{amalgamating}: these commands generally cause small changes to
buffers. So with these a boundary is inserted only every 20th command,

characters (@pxref{Commands for Insertion}), and @code{delete-char}
which deletes characters (@pxref{Deletion}) are amalgamating.

** M-x suggests shorthands and ignores obsolete commands for completion.
** Successive single-char deletions are collapsed in the undo-log just like
successive char insertions. This behaviour can be extended to other
commands, using the `undo-auto--amalgamate' function.
** Changes in undo
** The heuristic used to insert `undo-boundary' after each command has changed,
so that it supports commands which potentially affect multiple buffers.

*** Successive single-char deletions are collapsed in the undo-log just like
successive char insertions. Which commands invoke this behavior is
controlled by the new `undo-auto-amalgamate' function. See the node
"Undo" in the ELisp manual for more details.

*** The heuristic used to insert `undo-boundary' after each command
has changed, so that if a command causes changes in more than just the
current buffer, Emacs now calls `undo-boundary' in every buffer
affected by the command.

** New command `comment-line' bound to `C-x C-;'.
