That's right.  You can type C-M--, but it really turns into C-M-_.
Same for C--; it really turns into C-_.

You're trying to solve a problem, but I'm not sure precisely what.  I
think we've made different assumptions and thus are miscommunicating.

My idea was to have two options, undo-only and undo-redo, with a way
for the user to select one.  Initially the default would continue to
be undo-only.  We would ask users try undo-redo; if they generally
like it, we could change the default later to undo-redo.

It looks like you're presuming something different (though I am not
sure what it is) and proposing a DWIM feature for it, but I can't tell.
Would you please spell out both what behavior you're presuming, and
what behavior you propose instead?
